What is Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy?
Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy is an upcoming cRPG game by Owlcat Studios set in the grimdark universe of Warhammer 40,000, first announced during last year's Warhammer Skulls showcase.
Players will step into the shoes of an acolyte of the Inquisition, one of the most powerful institutions within the Imperium of Man tasked with protecting it from both internal and external threats. Their mission is set within the Calixis Sector of the Imperium's Segmentum Obscurus, and they must gather a warband of agents from among the Imperium's many armed forces–and even a few Xenos rogues–to uncover conspiracies and heresies seeking to harm the Imperium.
As an agent of the Inquisition, players will make use of a choice-driven investigation system to uncover conspiracies, interrogate suspects, and root out heresy. Those choices will also test the players' loyalties to their companions, allies, and the Emperor himself. And should violence be the only course left available to advance your investigation–as often happens in the universe of Warhammer 40,000–then players can take control of their Inquistorial warband in tactical turn-based combat.
Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy is Owlcat Studio's second title set in the universe of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. Rogue Trader, which released back in December 2023, is still receiving support from Owlcat Games and will even receive its third DLC, titled the Infinite Museion, on 11 June, 2026 for PC, PlayStation, and Xbox.
