If you thought being a Rogue Trader was stressful enough with the Warp, xenos, and your own questionable crew, Owlcat Games has a new headache for you—and it’s a shiny, metallic one. The latest teaser for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader dropped at the recent IGN Fan Fest, and it officially confirms that the third major DLC, The Infinite Museion, is putting the spotlight on everyone’s favorite kleptomaniac Necron, Trazyn the Infinite. It seems the Lord of Solemnace has taken a very personal interest in the von Valancius dynasty, and as anyone who knows Trazyn can tell you, being the subject of his curiosity usually ends with you stuck behind a stasis field in a museum.
This expansion is diving deep into Necron lore, which is a massive treat for fans who want more than just the usual Chaos-flavored threats. We’re looking at a brand-new questline where Trazyn essentially manipulates your crew for his own ends—classic Trazyn—while you explore artifact-heavy vaults that probably should have stayed buried. One of the biggest gameplay additions is a new implant system, allowing you to deck out your characters with unique Necron-themed tech to survive the ancient guardians standing in your way. There is also a mysterious new companion on the horizon who is supposed to completely shake up your battlefield tactics, though Owlcat is keeping their identity under wraps for now.
What’s really cool is how this integrates into the existing campaign. Like the previous DLCs, you won’t need to finish the game to see the new content; it’s woven right into the main story, giving you even more reasons to delay that final confrontation and spend another fifteen hours hunting for shiny relics. Between the streamlined UI updates the team has been pushing and the sheer charisma of a villain who just wants to put the whole galaxy in a display case, The Infinite Museion is shaping up to be a must-play for anyone still roaming the Koronus Expanse. Keep your eyes peeled for a release window later this year, and maybe try not to look too much like a “rare specimen” when Trazyn is around.
