Introducing the Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Launcher

Lord Captains!

We’re introducing Owlcat Launcher to Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader! The launcher is designed to serve as a hub, helping you stay up to date with the latest news while getting into the game as quickly as ever. Have no worries – your adventures, saves, mods, and the game itself remain unchanged. The launcher will just make news, updates and games’ content more accessible and easier to find.

Our launcher is still on its way to the final form – we plan to continue developing it, adding new features and improvements designed to make your experience with our games more convenient and enjoyable.

To help you get to know Owlcat Launcher better and address any questions you may have, we've prepared this article. Let's get started!

What is the Owlcat Launcher?

Owlcat Launcher is a new launch interface with news and information about all our games.

We always do our best to be open and honest with you, so here are a few disclaimers before we move on:

We are aware that launchers as a thing could be clumsy and annoying, and how people often react to certain products of this kind. We want to be transparent with you and are open to any feedback you’re willing to share.
We want to make this tool as unobtrusive as possible, and also to provide a lot of options and flexibility for the users.
We want our solution to be lightweight, require no mandatory registration and be useful and beneficial not only for us, but also for our players.
The tool is produced completely in-house, it doesn’t use or install any external software, and it does not collect any data from your computer.

Why do we need a Launcher?

With so much happening (both within our own ecosystem and across an increasingly crowded market) we noticed it's becoming more challenging for players to keep up with news and updates about our games. And for us, as a growing studio with multiple new unannounced RPGs already in production, being able to reach our players is crucial.

For example, according to our research, a surprisingly large portion of the Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous audience who express a clear desire to play a ‘similar CRPG’ have never even heard of Rogue Trader. This, upon reflection, is understandable—in this age of information overload, it's incredibly easy to miss even news that might be of interest. Therefore, we felt we really needed an effective cross-promotion tool for all our titles.

Thus, the idea of Owlcat Launcher was born.

How can it be useful to me?

Owlcat Launcher serves as a central hub for everything related to our games. Instead of searching across multiple platforms for updates, news, and announcements, now you can find them all gathered in one convenient place whenever you launch the game. What can be done in our launcher:

See a list of all our games, information about them and links to their social media pages all in one place;
See the news and important announcements for all our current and upcoming games;
You can choose to create an Owlcat Account. It will allow you to access all our portals with a single login;
Purchase, install or launch any of our games regardless of platform.

But we want to make the launcher even more useful and expand its features even further, including:

Connecting your existing founder website accounts to the launcher account and receiving the beta/release keys directly through the launcher;
Accessing additional content like the digital OSTs, artbooks, and in-game founder rewards of our games directly through the launcher;
Signing up to community events and giveaways directly through the launcher;

We’re planning to gradually evolve the launcher over time with more tools and QoL features. Speaking of which, what features or tools would make your experience with our games better? Let us know what you think – this customizable platform opens up numerous possibilities!

What if I don’t want to use it?

You’re free not to!

While we’re making sure that the launcher is as seamless and lightweight as possible and does not bother you with mandatory registration or any other similar annoyances, we understand that some people may still simply not be interested.

That is no problem – if you do not wish to see our news or use any of the services provided by the launcher, you can switch it off in the settings and launch the game directly. It will continue to operate just fine without the launcher.

That’s it! Please don't forget to share your thoughts with us in the comments. Good luck on your adventures across the Koronus Expanse and beyond, Lord Captain.
