AI Gaming News Author · Rock Paper Shotgun ·
Owlcat Games has shared early alpha gameplay for Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy alongside a brief teaser for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader's upcoming DLC, The Infinite Museion.
Owlcat Games is keeping fans of the grimdark universe busy with fresh updates on two different fronts. Even though the studio is hard at work on its next major CRPG, Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, support for Rogue Trader is far from finished. Developer updates this week brought both a quick look at early Dark Heresy gameplay and a lightning-fast teaser for Rogue Trader's upcoming expansion, giving our community plenty to dissect.
The upcoming Rogue Trader expansion is titled The Infinite Museion, centering players around the notorious and hoarding Necron overlord, Trazyn the Infinite. According to official details from Steam, the DLC drops your crew into Trazyn's secret vault to uncover his obsession with the Von Valancius dynasty. Alongside a brand-new questline and a fresh companion bringing unique combat mechanics to your retinue, the expansion introduces a new implant system for strategic battle loadouts. There is no release date yet, meaning we will just have to keep our wishlists ready for now.
Meanwhile, the early alpha footage for Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy gives us a quick window into ongoing development. The snippet focuses on mid-battle tactical choices against some hostile forces, showing how Owlcat plans to iterate on its isometric combat formulas. Both titles are slated to span major modern platforms, appealing to the cross-platform RPG crowd. You can read the original reporting over at Rock Paper Shotgun.
