This is our first major update for Warhammer 40000: Rogue Trader, containing a total of over 1800 changes, including brand new voiceover and narrative content, QoL improvements, balance updates, numerous bug fixes and hundreds of fixes for optimization, performance and co-op stability (we've done our best to squeeze some of these together to make the patch notes a bit less devastating for you to read). The patch notes are so huge that we were forced to split it into multiple parts. Console version of the patch will be available within ~24 hours depending on region, as usual.

We are deeply grateful for your feedback and reports that made this update possible, and hope that this update will vastly improve your experience with the game!

Important: due to the unprecedented scale of changes to abilities and balance, all existing saved games will receive an additional free respecialization for every character in the party. Enjoy!

Here’s a glimpse of what’s expecting you:

• Balance updates, including survivability and damage buffs to Space Marines, nerfs for Officers, weapon balance, encounter balance, and changes to calculations of many stats, bonuses and difficulty modifiers, resulting in an overall smoother game experience;

Lord Captains!

Unfortunately, due to increased international tensions in the Red Sea, our delivery of the Collector's Editions for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader has been delayed by a couple of weeks.
We expect to provide you with the tracking numbers by the beginning of March and with the new expected delivery dates at around the end of the same month.

A few more details about the situation:

Your boxes are currently on their way from China, where they were manufactured, to logistical centers around the world. Distribution will commence from there.
With the Suez Canal, a critical piece of maritime infrastructure, currently being too dangerous to use, ships are forced to go around the whole of Africa, affecting our deliveries as well.

It will not affect the cost of your delivery or require any additional action from your side, but sadly there's nothing we can do to avoid this delay.

We deeply apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
