Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader presents a pretty fascinating proposition, the very first CRPG set in the grim darkness of the 40k universe, developed by none other than Owlcat Games. Considering how much we enjoyed Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, to say we are excited for this one is something of an understatement, doubly so, considering it is coming to console.
Apparently, players will be able to galivant across the incredibly dangerous universe, consorting with Emperor-fearing citizens of the Imperium or the very enemies of Mankind, all in the name of glorious profit. The Rogue Traders, in the context of the 40k universe, are kind of a combination of freelance explorers, conquistadors and intergalactic merchants, who roll around with a heavily armed retinue, given carte blanche to explore the galaxy's darkest corners. Sounds like the perfect setup for a deep, party-driven CRPG to us.

First initiative, citizen!
Looks nice. I'll certainly be keeping an eye on this.
What is CRPG? any new short or what?
Not sure what you're asking. A computer role-playing game.
How well do these play on console? I've always played these on PC, but always prefer to play games on PS if the controls work well.
@Tyrii
Nowadays it’s meaning is more “classical role playing game”.
@Tyrii I have been playing Pathfinder wotr and the previous kingmaker. The controls work really well.
I'm looking forward to this. I played the pen and paper 40k once and I liked the lore. Owlcat does have a few technical issues with there games, but they support it with continuous fixes.
Loved Kingmaker, am in the midst of Wrath (& having a great time!), very much looking forward to RT!! 👍🏼 😸
@Tyrii I’m playing Wrath now and controls are mostly ok, but there’s a lot of UI bugs and crashes. Not necessarily because it’s a CRPG, but because Owlcat aren’t really great at optimising. Having a blast with it though, annoyances aside.
Owlcat Slaps. Absolutely loving WotR on PS5, and probably one of the hardest Platinum's in existence. Really really hoping they don't take as long to port this one over to Playstation
200% excited, I wasn't before as I didn't think it was coming to consoles.
