Find Out the Truth in Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy
Owlcat Games has officially announced the release date for Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, its upcoming cRPG set in the grim darkness of the 41st Millennium. The game will arrive on January 28, 2027, for PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store, alongside PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A Nintendo Switch 2 release is also planned, although its launch date will be revealed later.
Set in the dangerous Calixis Sector, Dark Heresy puts players in the role of an Inquisitorial acolyte tasked with uncovering heresy, investigating conspiracies, and eliminating threats to the Imperium. Players will gradually build their own warband, recruiting a diverse group of companions ranging from dangerous psykers and abhumans to mysterious xenos characters, including an Aeldari Corsair and a Kroot.
The companions aren’t just there to fill out the party. Each character brings unique abilities that can prove valuable during tactical combat encounters and investigations. Players will also have to make difficult decisions throughout their journey, choosing whether to pursue the truth regardless of the consequences or sacrifice innocent lives to achieve their objectives. Naturally, these choices will have lasting consequences.
Meanwhile, players interested in trying the game early can still purchase a Founder’s Pack through the official website until early January. The current beta, available to all founders, will end on January 7, giving Owlcat Games time to prepare for the full release.
With its focus on morally difficult choices, investigations, and tactical combat, Dark Heresy is shaping up to be an intriguing addition to the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Fans won’t have to wait much longer to take up the Inquisition’s duties.
