Play now or wait for DLC

[Lorcanis]

Hey, I got the game and the first DLC and was about to start the game, but I noticed the second DLC is scheduled for december. Would you recommend to wait and enjoy the full experience, or just go with the first DLC only with a possibility to re-play the game in the future? It seems that Rogue Trader is as long or maybe longer than WoTR, which I finished in vanilla and can't bring myself to do a 2nd playthrough with all the DLCs (not anytime soon at least).
Thanks :)

It is very unlikely that it will release in December. The current DLC was delayed by 4 months, so the next will in all likelihood be delayed as well.

Not only would it be too much to actually complete work on an entire new DLC (with a whole new beefy chunk of content about Adeptus Arbites) between the release of the current DLC in September and next in December (3 months?), it would not make much sense for the players either. Give people some time to digest and enjoy the current DLC, before you dump another one on them. Not to mention it would hurt Owlcat financially, as such short releases (besides costing them tons of money to make) would make people prefer waiting for a more complete version of the game, rather than buying individual DLCs.

Personally, I would not expect the next DLC before April at best. June 2025 would be my guess, actually.

Enjoy it now and then take a break for til the next one comes out.

The bugs will be there anyway, as far as i see playing the first DLC, so "enjoy" in any order i guess

Just play it now, the first DLC has been delayed for 3 months. I think this new one will be delayed as well.

I stopped playing months ago to let the game patch and wait for the first DLC and first new companion (goth waifu). I'm nearly done now, and we likely won't be seeing the next DLC until the new year. What does this mean? Mean's I get to take a break and come back in Jan-March to replay the game with the new DLC in mind. Considering the patch road map just released, the game's gonna be a bit different then, which is a perfect opportunity to play a Dogmatic or Heretical path!

Anyways: play the game now, come back in three months to replay the game with the new DLC.

Well this explains what the survey is for, they wanted to add more stuff in the DLC I assume or quality control.

If the next DLC is anything like void shadows then you can just load up an old save from somewhere pre or post commorogh and play through it. No need to start a whole new game or wait to play through everything in one go.
