Space Marines and surprising sequels

Warhammer Skulls is an annual convention that focuses on announcements and updates for the various video games under the Warhammer umbrella. There is a surprising variety of video games in this catalog, especially since Warhammer refers to both the fantasy and sci-fi settings of Warhammer Fantasy Battles, Age of Sigmar, and Warhammer 40K. While some fun Easter eggs and crossovers were announced, the event also featured some pretty hefty announcements. Here are the five biggest news from this year's Warhammer Skulls.

Rogue Trader is a massive CRPG, and while it had its fair share of bugs and balance issues, developer Owlcat Games has spent the post-launch time ironing out those wrinkles. A new 15-hour campaign is coming, integrated with the main story. The expansion, called Void Shadows, takes place largely on the battleship von Valancius.

Players can meet (and possibly romance) Death Cult assassin Kibellah, coordinate with new high-level officers, build a new hangar for void combat, and uncover a xenos conspiracy aboard their ship. Owlcat also announced that Rogue Trader will now be supported on Steam Deck, making it much easier to play through this massive game – or much more mobile.
