I wondered how Owlcat Games would follow-up its hit CRPG Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader, but I didn't expect another adventure in the 41st millennium quite so soon. The studio is still releasing DLC for Rogue Trader, has announced a Mass Effect-style RPG based on The Expanse novels, and now has its own publishing arm putting out mysteries like Rue Valley, which Disco Elysium writer Robert Kurvitz consulted on. After playing nearly ten hours of the Warhammer 40k Dark Heresy alpha, however, I'm certain it has even more in common with Disco Elysium than Owlcat's time loop mystery.
