Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader’s launch marked only the start of the journey for developer Owlcat Games’ sprawling grimdark CRPG. With its first DLC promising to introduce new friends and foes, patch 1.3’s release date is equally important, likely bringing with it a suite of fixes and improvements that help smoothen the overall experience.
Although the developer has yet to talk extensively about Rogue Trader’s patch 1.3’s release date and content, we do have a sense of when we can expect it to go live.
Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader Patch 1.3 Release Date
As per a thread in the game’s official Steam Discussions section, “the next major patch 1.3 is expected after/around DLC1.”
The DLC referenced here is, of course, Void Shadows, currently expected to launch on September 24, 2024. Community Manager OwlcatStarrok has since confirmed that the update will arrive later in the year.

“1.3 will be coming later, not with the DLC. It will contain a major amount of bugfixes, balancing, QoL improvements and some new content,” they wrote on Reddit.
As far as the content referenced above, developer Owlcat Games will very likely reveal more details closer to launch, either through a teaser or two, or by sharing the full patch notes.
That being said, in the same thread linked above, we learned about a feature similar to auto-leveling that the team is working on at the moment, although it’s not guaranteed to go live alongside Rogue Trader’s patch 1.3.
“We are currently exploring an idea of a more advanced and sophisticated system that would help the player narrow down the[ir] choices depending on existing build, party setup etc,” OwlcatStarrok wrote.
“But that poses a lot of design and programming challenge, which makes predictions very vague at this point. It may happen by 1.3, may happen later, or not happen at all if it proves to be so complex that it won’t fit into realistic budget and time expectations.”
That is what we currently know about Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader’s patch 1.3 release date and what we might expect from it.
