Owlcat Games has delayed the final Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader DLC to December, introducing a grim new companion named Stella who fights as an unsanctioned psyker.
Owlcat Games has pushed the final story expansion for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader back to December, giving the development team extra time to polish the release. Originally slated for a September rollout, Processional of the Damned will now launch later this year. To make things right with the community, the studio is offering refunds through Steam for owners of Season Pass 2, though taking that route requires careful management of active save files tied to previous content.
Even with the wait, the upcoming expansion introduces compelling additions for players diving back into the grimdark expanse. The headline feature is Stella, an unsanctioned psyker raised by the Ecclesiarchy who serves as a living weapon while secretly shedding tears of blood from beneath cracked porcelain skin. Players will decide whether to weaponize her Psychic Trail ability, attempt to save her, or lean fully into the madness of her damnation.
Beyond the new companion, Processional of the Damned brings a fresh bludgeoning weapon archetype for zealots, a new Madness system affecting all party members, and dangerous new combat encounters against the Arch Enemy and Aeladari. For a massive cRPG that relies heavily on intricate narrative arcs and long play sessions, taking the extra months to land the final chapter cleanly is a welcome move for players invested in the journey.
