Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy Launches January 28, 2027 as an Inquisitorial Investigation RPG
The Release Date Trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy is here, confirming that Owlcat Games' narrative-driven tactical RPG launches on January 28, 2027, for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store. A Nintendo Switch 2 version is also planned, with its release date to be announced later.
In Dark Heresy, players become an Acolyte of the Inquisition in the Calixis Sector, asserting the will of the God-Emperor through tactical combat, difficult decisions, and investigations to uncover a grand conspiracy. Unlike Owlcat's Rogue Trader, this game casts you as an Inquisitorial agent hunting heretics, gathering clues, interviewing witnesses, and deciding who to blame—even if the truth remains uncertain, and innocents may pay for your choices. Your retinue includes unusual companions such as the Ogryn Cogg, the psyker Saro, the Pariah Discordance, and even xenos like the Aeldari corsair Laarthyr and the Kroot hunter Ra'akhti.
A beta offering a complete first Act is available through Founder's Packs on Owlcat's website and runs until January 7, 2027, three weeks before launch.
