Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader showcases the Familiars feature from the upcoming Lex Imperialis expansion
Owlcat Games has begun its reveals for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader's upcoming Lex Imperialis expansion with a feature showcase for its Familiars.
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader's second expansion, Lex Imperialis, is set to launch soon and ahead of its release, Owlcat Games is showcasing Familiars. Familiars will allow four creatures to accompany players with the second-tier Overseer archetype. Owlcat will be detailing more about the archetype, the Arbites origin, and more from the expansion soon.
The CRPG was recently confirmed to have sold over 1 million units worldwide. We reviewed Rogue Trader last year, where Bryan called it his "favorite title so far from Owlcat Games".
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam). The Lex Imperialis expansion is due this Spring.

Lord Captains!
The Lex Imperialis expansion for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is just around the corner, and today, we begin our reveals with its biggest and most exciting feature:
The Familiars!
From the hints we dropped in our latest AMA, and with the expansion revolving around the Adeptus Arbites, many of you have already figured out that the good boy is on his way.
What most of you probably didn't expect is that there is not one but FOUR creatures that may now accompany your Rogue Trader, thanks to the brand new second-tier Overseer archetype!
Abelard, introduce:
1) The Cyber-Mastiff
Often seen accompanying Rogue Traders with the Arbites origin, these mechanized canine predators provide martial support during both combat and exploration, protecting their master with utmost ferocity. Notably, Solomorne Anthar, the new companion hailing from the ranks of the Adeptus Arbites, also employs one of these fearless beasts.
2) The Psyber-Raven
Available to Psykers, these specially bred avian creatures channel and amplify their master's psychic abilities, increasing their range, damage and number of possible targets, as well as providing additional effects.
3) The Servoskull Swarm
A useful tool often employed by imperial Officers and Operatives, these constellations of hovering servo-skulls provide surveillance, relay their master's abilities across the battlefield, and excel at harassing the enemy.
4) The Cyber-Eagle
Valued by imperial Officers and Operatives for their speed and agility, these cybernetic aerial predators soar high above the battlefield, diving on command to blind and maim their master's enemies. They may also serve as the perfect distraction, sowing confusion among enemy ranks, and even potentially causing friendly fire.
Are you ready to unleash your new potential?
Stay tuned — we'll be sharing more about the new Overseer archetype, the new Arbites origin, and other info about the Lex Imperialis expansion soon!
