Developer Owlcat Games (Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous) has announced that turn-based cRPG Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader has started its closed alpha test. Those who have bought the Developer’s Pack or Collector’s Edition, can sign in to their personal accounts to grab a Steam Key and set foot in the Koronus Expanse right now.
If you are someone who prefers to have game goodies in your hands or on your shelves, the team previously revealed the physical Collector’s Edition going for the solid $299. Together with the physical items you will receive a digital version of the game (matching that of the Developer’s Digital Pack) in a selected store, meaning that you can still have your Rogue Trader Closed Alpha access.
“The alpha will eventually transform into the beta version of the game and will remain live until Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader’s release, meaning that anyone who pre-purchases the Developer’s Digital Pack or Collector’s Edition will still be able to try the game early starting from today. In-game progress will not be transferred from one version to another.
If you encounter any bugs, or just want to suggest a change for our team to consider – use the Alt+B combination in the game. Use it to contact us and share your thoughts about the game, its mechanics, or just about anything! This is our first public testing of Rogue Trader, so any feedback will be valuable, and we can’t wait to hear your thoughts!”
About Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader
As comes from the name of the game, players will be able to take on the role of a Rogue Trader in one of the most beloved sci-fi franchises. Thanks to the Warrant of Trade, the Rogue Trader is endowed with privileges and power beyond imagination as well as the task of expanding the borders of the Imperium. At their disposal is a gargantuan voidship of immense power and innumerable servants and personnel ready to do the bidding of their lord.
The adventures begin in the vast Koronus Expanse – a treacherous region of unexplored space at the edge of Humanity’s domain. You will make fateful decisions that affect the lives of entire worlds. You will prove your strategic and tactical skills in high-impact turn-based battles against powerful opponents. Also, you will be able to meet faithful and sophisticated companions.
