Anticipated Warhammer 40K tactical RPG Dark Heresy gets a release date

Owlcat Games has announced that Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy will launch on 28 January 2027 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X. The tactical role-playing game follows Rogue Trader and puts players in the role of an Inquisitor hunting heretics, expanding Owlcat’s line-up of games set in the 41st millennium.

The game is described as overhauling many of the systems behind the adventure. A beta containing the complete first Act is available to buyers of the Founder’s Edition, but will close on 7 January as the developer prepares for launch; a Switch 2 release date has yet to be announced. Owlcat is also developing a separate role-playing game based on The Expanse, with former Dragon Age writer David Gaider recently joining that project.
