The series was supposedly ended for good in 1996, though the odd spinoff did appear. In 2002, popular writer Gordon Rennie revisited the Rogue continuity with a new series of stories set during the hunt for the Traitor General. This series was well received and Rennie attempted to reboot the continuity for a second time, but was blocked by the editors. He has said he would like to write more stories in the ''Rogue Trooper'' universe, but these would focus on side characters and what's going on elsewhere on Nu Earth.
 
Most recently, the comic was adapted into a video game by [[Rebellion (Creator)|Rebellion Developments]], who currently also publish ''2000 AD'' and have the rights to most of its characters. ''Rogue Trooper: Quartz Zone Massacre'' was released on the [[PSPlay Station 2]] and [[Xbox 360]], and [[PC]] in 2006, and the [[Wii]] in 2009. Though it features the characters and premise of the Rogue continuity, the story is very different, and much of the technology has been altered to make the gameplay more fun.
