Owlcat Games has officially launched Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader on Nintendo Switch 2, unveiling a dedicated launch trailer to celebrate the tactical RPG's arrival on the hybrid console.
Previously released on PC and other major platforms, this marks the highly anticipated debut of the beloved Warhammer 40K universe on Nintendo Switch 2, offering fans of strategic role-playing games a new frontier to explore. Originally introduced to the gaming world in 2022, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader has been lauded for its expansive narrative, deep character customizations, and rich tactical combat.
Now, Nintendo Switch 2 owners can immerse themselves in the gritty sci-fi universe courtesy of a version tailored specifically for handheld and docked play.
The game's complete base content, alongside all updates released to date, delivers over 100 hours of engaging gameplay—ensuring a robust experience for newcomers and veteran players alike. The Nintendo Switch 2 edition of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader spotlights its signature blend of player-driven decisions and expansive storytelling.
Players assume the role of a Rogue Trader, a powerful figure wielding a Warrant of Trade that grants both immense responsibility and the authority to shape the fate of entire star systems.
Commanding a vast voidship filled with loyal and diverse crew members, users face pivotal choices: enforce Imperial creed or forge alliances with humanity's adversaries.
Each decision reverberates across the game’s universe, influencing narrative outcomes and the destinies of myriad worlds. Responding to inquiries regarding additional content, Owlcat Games confirmed that while the base game and all prior updates are included at launch, the Zone of Void Shadows and Lex Imperialis DLC expansions are not yet available on Nintendo Switch 2.
However, plans are in place to introduce these downloadable expansions at a future date, allowing Switch users to enjoy the full breadth of content available on other platforms. In a statement, representatives of Owlcat Games highlighted the care taken in bringing Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader to Nintendo Switch 2, emphasizing that the port preserves the CRPG’s "signature depth and replayability," while optimizing controls for the console’s unique capabilities.
