Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, Owlcat Games’ next Warhammer 40K cRPG/tactical RPG, is set to launch on January 28, 2027. Reports say it will be released for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with a later release date promised for Switch 2.
The game is positioned as a follow-up to Owlcat’s earlier Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, and coverage highlights the premise of playing as an Inquisitor conducting “heresy” investigations in the grimdark universe. Outlets also note that players start as lowly acolytes and build a group of recruits and companions with distinct skills, with choices expected to carry consequences. While some previews emphasize the compressed lead-up to the January release, others focus on the anticipation around the title and its place in Owlcat’s Warhammer lineup.
