Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Developer Diary #3

If you wouldn’t mind knowing a thing or two about the enemy creation process in Owlcat Games’ upcoming ambitious CRPG Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, then you should check out the latest developer diary that shows us how the studio is going about populating the game’s world with various foes for you to fight, including the likes of Chaos Defilers and Hellbrutes.

With how vast Warhammer 40,000’s bestiary is, a major point of the diary is the team’s approach to deciding whether a particular creature is appropriate for this game’s particular story and mechanics. We’re also treated to a bunch of concept art and in-engine footage enhanced by some exceedingly dramatic narration.

See for yourself:

Every formidable Rogue Trader needs worthy enemies to fight against.

And creating those enemies means we have to pour our heart and soul into every little detail.

Let us show you how it’s done, using the terrifying Helbrute as an example.
