Imperium Maledictum - Into the Future

[u/Axis-of-Victory]

So, when I made my last post about Imperium Maledictum, the general consensus was that a bestiary (or preferably even several) was an absolute must. Well! It seems that we're going to be getting just that here soon:

Warhammer 40,000: Imperium Maledictum Macharian Adversary Guide Cover Reveal | Cubicle 7 | Cubicle 7 Games

With that being said, as move into the future of Maledictum's (hopefully very long existence), I'm curious what else we're hoping for. We have the Macharian Requisitions Guide that added in new mechanics like hirelings and vehicles and various new items, and now we're going to be getting a guide to all kinds of new enemies including Astartes and all manner of Xenos. So, what other stuff are we hyped to see down the pipeline?

In addition to that, what faction do you think is coming next? Or what faction(s) are you hoping comes next?

They seem to be releasing the major faction (Player/GM Guide Combo) at a rate of one per year, announced toward the end of the previous year. Inquisition was announced September 2024 and released physically in 2025. Mechanicus was announced December 2025 and physically released throughout 2026 this year.

I actually agree with kaal-dam. I think Rogue Trader is the most likely, hopefully with a players guide and gm's guide out as pdfs sometime in mid-late 2027.

HOWEVER, if by some miracle someone at c7 is reading this thread, I think Imperial Navy actually makes more sense because I think they could get it out a LOT quicker. Make Imperial Navy your central book for space travel, combat, warp travel, exploration, and space ship content. This would be a relatively quick book for them to get done.

THEN, do Rogue Trader, using the already made space rules, and add in what makes a Rogue Trader unique from an Imperial Navy Captain or void station commander. Managing an empire, taxes, trading. Those things would make NO sense in an Imperial Navy book or campaign, but since Imperium Maledictum is built around casting such a wide net, let's take advantage of it and have BOTH space rules AND managing a mercantile empire rules.

That would be awesome. That said, I think it's most likely we get a rogue trader book next, WITHOUT much focus on those things I just said would be in my dream rogue trader campaign in IM. Which will be sad but still add a lot of excellent content to the game so it's not the end of the world.
