Warhammer: 40,000: Dark Heresy Launches January 2027, Owlcat Games Confirms

Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy has finally locked a release date on PC and consoles, and it’s sooner than we were expecting.

Owlcat Games today revealed its cRPG follow-up to Rogue Trader (also an ambitious RPG that’s found tons of success) will arrive on January 28, 2027. It will be a full release across all platforms.

“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.”

Back in January, WH40K: Dark Heresy left a good taste in my mouth with a strong (and extensive) alpha that introduced a cRPG that isn’t sacrificing any depth in order to go bigger and even darker. Fans of old-fashioned RPGs that require patience and a more tactical mindset should be eating well when this one launches, I’d say, but as always, let’s wait for the final result before celebrating.

Alongside the news, Owlcat Games also shared a new trailer to celebrate the release date reveal:

Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy is launching on PC (Steam, GOG & Epic Games Store), PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
