With the release of the first expansion for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader , Owlcat Games is breaking new ground in the cosmos of the popular role-playing game. Under the title Void Shadows, the expansion is available immediately on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store. Players can expect a wealth of new content that seamlessly integrates with the existing main story and provides hours of captivating gameplay.
At the center of the action is once again the mighty Lord Captain, who commands a gigantic void ship. But a new threat is lurking in the depths of the ship: the Genestealer cult, an insidious alien species that has made it its mission to manipulate the crew and use them for its own sinister purposes. Players must face this challenge and defend the safety of their ship.
Kibellah: A deadly ally in the fight against the Genestealers
The expansion not only brings new dangers, but also a special ally into play: Kibellah, an ice-cold assassin from a secret death cult, joins the Lord Captain. For generations, her group has worked in secret for the noble House Von Valancius, and now she puts her deadly skills at the service of the Captain. Kibellah worships the Emperor through the art of killing and is an invaluable aid in the fight against the Genestealers.
Players can gain Kibellah’s trust through skillful decisions and build a deep bond with her. This loyalty proves to be crucial in uncovering the alien’s machinations and saving the crew from complete manipulation. Partnering with Kibellah adds a new depth and dynamic to the mission that goes beyond mere combat.
