Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy launches January 28, 2027 for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC, later for Switch 2

Party-based, story-driven cRPG Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG on January 28, 2027, followed by Switch 2 at a later date, developer Owlcat Games announced.

Here are the latest details:

In the darkness of the 41st Millennium, the Calixis Sector is rife with heresy—be it in the dirty slums of the Imperium’s underbelly or the glittering spires where the elites congregate, cults, conspiracies, and the Archenemy’s servants all proliferate under a veil of sin. Players join the Inquisition beginning as lowly acolytes and form a war band of zealots and outcasts that investigate crimes and apostasy, rooting out evil before it is too late. Inquisitors must decide if they want to recruit abhumans like Cogg, dangerous psykers like Saro or Pariahs like Discordance, or even xenos like the mysterious Aeldari Corsair Laarthyr or the flesh-eating Kroot Ra’akhti. During the player’s holy crusade they will also meet more human companions like the Catachan fighter Haymar, the bored Rogue Trader Chorda, or the inscrutable Touma, who each have their own agenda and motivations for joining the Inquisition.

Each companion has unique skills that contribute to the Inquisition’s cause, whether they are used in the revamped tactical combat encounters or in the form of advice given during the investigations. Inquisitors are free to choose how to handle the task; if they search for truth at all costs or sacrifice innocents for their own benefit, it is their responsibility. As long as they are aware that each decision will have consequences—intended or not.

Founder’s Packs for Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy can still be purchased on the website until the beginning of January. The Beta, currently available for all founders, will close its doors on January 7 in order to prepare for launch.
