Blood Tears of the Unsanctioned Psyker: The Final DLC of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader

Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader DLC Delayed to December

The highly anticipated final DLC for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, titled Processional of the Damned, has been postponed to December according to developers Owlcat. The delay was announced alongside the introduction of the new companion, Stella, who will play a central role in the expansion.

Stella is described as an “unsanctioned psyker” and a “miracle sent by the Emperor himself”. She is known to shed tears of blood, adding a mysterious and intriguing element to her character.

Owlcat explained the reason for the delay in a Steam update, stating that despite their initial goal of releasing the expansion in September, they needed more time to ensure a polished and satisfying experience for players. The new release window is set for December 2026.

As a gesture of goodwill, the studio is offering refunds to owners of the game’s Season Pass 2 through Steam’s customer support. However, this will result in the removal of Processional of the Damned and the Infinite Museion from the player’s account.

For those who choose to wait for the delayed DLC, Owlcat has provided some details about what to expect. The focus will be on Stella, who is described as a dread priest-looking Miraculist with unique abilities and a mysterious past.

In addition to Stella, the expansion will introduce a new archetype, the bludgeoning weapon-focused zealot, as well as a feature called Madness that will impact all companions. Players can also look forward to facing new enemies from the Arch Enemy and Aeladari factions.

With its promising features and intriguing storyline, Processional of the Damned is shaping up to be a worthy conclusion to the Rogue Trader saga. Players can anticipate a mix of intense combat, deep storytelling, and challenging decisions as they navigate Stella’s journey.

Whether players choose to embrace Stella’s powers, try to save her, or succumb to her “madness and damnation”, the DLC promises to offer a compelling and immersive experience for fans of the Warhammer 40,000 universe.

Overall, the delayed release of Processional of the Damned may disappoint some players, but Owlcat’s commitment to delivering a high-quality expansion suggests that the wait will be worth it. Stay tuned for more updates and be prepared to dive into the final chapter of the Rogue Trader adventure in December.
