Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader introduces its Companions in a new trailer
Owlcat Games has unveiled a new trailer for their upcoming turn-based cRPG, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. They provide an extensive introduction to the Companions that players can recruit into their party.
First off, Abelard Werserian is an Ex-Imperial Navy officer that can get up, close, & personal to dish out damage. He is said to be "capable of returning blows" back to foes.
Idira Tlass, an Unsanctioned Psyker, is an unpredictable diviner with psychic powers. Her abilities can buff the offensive and defensive capabilities of a player's party.
Pasqal Haneumann, an Adeptus Mechanicus, is primarily a party member that brings utility to the party composition with a vast array of buffs and debuffs at their disposal. Despite being a utility-first character, Pasqal still wields powerful weaponry to fend off enemies.
Cassia Orsellio, a Navis Nobilite, is a navigator that can open her third eye to devastate the opposition.
Heinrix van Calox of the Holy Inquisition is a sanctioned psyker and combat veteran. He also perfers head-on confrontations due to his skills revolving around shielding and empowering himself.
Jae Heydari is a Cold Trader that has a lot of leadership experience under her belt. She can issue commands that can turn even lesser capable party members into serious threats out on the battlefield.
Sister Argenta of the Adepta Sororitas specializes in dealing damage from afar and possesses unparalleled mobility. Her acts of faith can turn even the most hopeless circumstances around.
Ulfar from the Adeptus Astartes is built for warfrare; he shines in close combat due to his Fenrisian nature.
Finally, Yrliet Lanaevyss is an Aeldari Ranger who, as you might expect, excels with her ranged combat abilities. Her trusty long rifle aids her in annihilating enemies from long distances.
It's up to players to decide what kind of party composition they want in Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader.
Owlcat Games also confirmed that multiplayer co-op will be coming to the game on day one when it launches on the Windows PC version; the feature will arrive later post-launch on the Mac and console versions.
No release date has been set for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader yet.
