Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader – 1.3 Update

Throughout the year, the team listened carefully to the feedback from the community and did a fantastic job supporting the game together with bringing new updates and fixes to make it even better and meet the first anniversary in all its glory. The new patch brings tons of changes and quality of life improvements. Moreover, the co-op mode of up to 6 people is now available to console players. The 1.3 Update is one of the biggest updates of the game so far and contains over 1000+ visible and internal changes, including:
  • New cutscenes and major improvements to multiple old cutscenes
  • A lot of new items
  • Conviction point rebalance (Convictions will be easier to get, which will give players more roleplaying freedom without feeling forced to pick a certain option to gain mechanical benefits)
  • New voiceover (mostly in dialogues with Kibellah and companion banter with Kibellah involved)
  • Improvement and review of loot tables in Act I and II to make item progression more interesting and diverse
  • Significant improvements to French and German localization
  • Multiple new Force swords are scattered across the game for all your needs
  • Updates and improvements to colonization events
  • Rotation of Grand Strategist zones
  • Updated character models for Heinrix and Abelard

Console Co-Op Mode

The long-awaited update for the consoles is finally live. Players can gather with up to 5 friends and feel the real brothers-in-arms experience. Play the whole game on a team or invite friends at any stage of the campaign, from now on, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X. Also, the update increases the game performance on all consoles and brings 4K resolution to the PlayStation 5 Pro version. As an additional bonus—the digital artbook and OST are also available on consoles in top-tier editions.
