New Companions Revealed
Owlcat recently announced two new companions for their upcoming projects. In the upcoming Infinite Museion DLC for Rogue Trader, players will meet Eogann Februs, a tech-priest companion. While some players expected a more exotic character, Owlcat has opted to add another tech-priest to the roster, complementing the existing crew.
Additionally, Owlcat showcased a companion named Haymar Devos from the alpha version of Dark Heresy. Devos hails from the notorious death world of Catachan, a jungle planet reminiscent of the environment seen in the movie Predator. Catachan is known for producing elite soldiers, including a Rambo-like character named Sly Marbo, further enhancing the game's action-oriented narrative.
Community Reactions
Community feedback has been mixed regarding these announcements. While some players expressed excitement about the new companions, others have noted past issues with Owlcat's titles. The studio has a history of launching games in a terrible state, often requiring significant post-launch updates to address bugs and performance issues. A particularly frustrating progress-blocking bug marred the initial experience for some players in Rogue Trader.
Despite these concerns, there remains a vocal segment of the community that would prefer to wait for a more polished experience rather than jump in immediately. Players are hopeful that with time and updates, both Rogue Trader and the upcoming Dark Heresy will reach their full potential.
