This Warhammer RPG Is Like Space Marines Meets Baldur's Gate, And It's 50% Off Right Now

If you recently wrapped up Space Marine 2 and are looking for more Warhammer 40,000 video games, you're in luck. The RPG Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is getting a big discount this week in celebration of its new DLC expansion, Void Shadows. Over on GameSpot's sibling site Fanatical, you can grab multiple editions of the game for up to 50% off.

Fanatical's discount includes the massive Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Voidfarer Edition that gets you the base game, the Void Shadows expansion, and a bunch of deluxe goodies like a digital art book and special in-game items. You'll also get immediate access to the game's second expansion, Lex Imperialis, that's planned to launch in December. The Voidfarer Edition is on sale for $60, a hefty price cut from its normal $100. Alternatively, you can grab the Deluxe Edition for just $32.49 (was $65). The standard edition is also $32.49 (was $50), but considering the Deluxe Edition includes extra content and is currently the same price, it's worth upgrading.

If you pick up the standard or Deluxe Editions, you will need to grab the Void Shadows DLC as well if you want to play the expansion, which includes new quest lines to complete, new locations to explore, and a new companion to recruit--all totaling roughly 15 hours of new content. It's available for $18.

• Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Voidfarer Edition -- $60 ($100)
• Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Deluxe Edition -- $32.49 ($65)
• Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader -- $32.49 ($50)

Fanatical's Rogue Trader discount will only be available through September 29, so be sure to grab the game soon if you're interested.

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is a top-down RPG set in the 40K universe--however, unlike the bloody battlefields and ruined worlds that most 40K media focuses on, Rogue Trader gives a glimpse of life on the fringes of the Imperium of Man, where merchants and mercenaries trade with other species and factions rather than waging constant warfare. The game features turn-based tactical combat, branching questlines leading to dozens of endings, and numerous companions to recruit and even romance. Think Baldur's Gate 3 set in the Warhammer 40,000 universe, and you get pretty close to the vibe Rogue Trader offers.

Rogue Trader is based on a 40K tabletop RPG of the same name and concept. If you're curious to try out the pen-and-paper version, Humble has a book bundle that includes up to 41 digital rulebooks, expansions, and adventure modules for the Rogue Trader and Deathwatch TTRPGs for just $25. Speaking of Warhammer 40K books, Humble also has a novel bundle filled with 24 ebooks all about the Space Marines.
