Games set in the grimdark future of the Warhammer 40K universe always hit the spot where story and lore is concerned, and that’s why we’re excited for the Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader release date to deliver even more of the universe’s story beats.
If you’re as giddy with glee as we are about it all, then while you wait for the Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader release date, you can find out more about how Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader is the first CRPG in the 40K universe.

Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader release date speculation
Currently, there is no official release date for Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader, though a Q3 2023 release is likely based on Owlcat’s previous development timelines and a Rogue Trader beta beginning on June 1, 2023.
The game’s developer, Owlcat, generally releases its games around a year after they get announced. Rogue Trader was first announced in June 2022, but we theorise that we could be looking at a Q3 2023 release date for Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader.
Furthermore, Owlcat has already launched a Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader beta, which was available from June 1. This further points towards a Q3 release date if everything goes according to plan. However, it’s always possible that Owlcat throws a curveball and releases the game in Q4 2023 or beyond, especially if there are delays.
Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader story
Set in the grimdark Warhammer 40K universe of the future, you play as a Rogue Trader – a descendant of a powerful merchant family. Rogue Traders have been granted permission to explore space by the emperor and are tasked with expanding the Imperium’s power while doing so.
You will explore many different worlds and make choices that decide their fate along the way, all while participating in turn-based combat. We also know you will encounter prominent groups, like the Sisters of Battle, Space Marines, and Aeldari.
