  "account": "Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader's final expansion, Processional of the Damned, is set to release in December. This DLC will add a new storyline and character to the existing campaign, rather than serving as a standalone addition. The new companion, Stella, possesses unique abilities and appears to be unstable and potentially heretical. She is described as being in a constant state of peril and madness, and will likely pose new challenges for the player. Alongside Stella, Processional will introduce the Zealot archetype, allowing players to create a character skilled in bludgeoning enemies. The DLC will also feature a new \"madness\" mechanic, which could negatively impact companions, introduce new enemies, and provide fresh gear. Despite a rocky start, Rogue Trader has evolved into one of Owlcat's most engaging CRPGs, with another expansion on the horizon. In addition to Rogue Trader, Owlcat has upcoming projects such as Warhammer 40k: Dark Heresy and The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. The company continues to develop a diverse range of PC games, from traditional RPGs to FPS and co-op titles.",
