Although well known to people of a certain age here in the U.K., Rogue Trooper may not be all that well known in other circles so Rebellion have posted a video explaining the character’s origin. They also show off the new character model that will be used in Rogue Trooper Redux which is coming to PlayStation 4.
Rogue is one of the Genetic Infantrymen (‘GIs’), an army of bio-engineered soldiers, created by Southers to fight their all out war against the colonial Nort regime. Not only can GIs survive the poisonous surface of Nu Earth unharmed, but their enhanced abilities make them a phenomenal force.
And yet, Rogue is the last GI standing following a devastating massacre that all but wipes out his kind. Carrying the consciousnesses of three fallen comrades as biochips implanted in his equipment, enhancing his powers further, Rogue transforms from super soldier into a one-man squad of death and destruction. He knows no allegiance but to his own mission, and he is hell-bent on completing it. That mission is REVENGE.

Looking forward to this, been a 2000ad subscriber for about 25 years!
Be even better if there was a game about Strontium Dogs or Slaine as well ;)
