Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy Launches January 28, 2027

Nearly a year and a half after it was revealed at Warhammer Skulls 2025, Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy finally has a release date, with Owlcat Games confirming the cRPG launches on January 28, 2027. It will be available on PlayStation 5, XBOX Series X|S, and PC through Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store. A Switch 2 version is also in the works, though Owlcat says information on that release will be shared at a later date.

For those unfamiliar with Dark Heresy, it’s a party-based cRPG from the studio behind Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, and it puts players in the role of an acolyte of the Inquisition in the Calixis Sector. Players assemble a party of companions to investigate crimes and heresy, with each companion contributing in tactical combat and offering advice during investigations. It’s one of two games Owlcat has scheduled for the first half of 2027, alongside The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, which I said just last week remains one of the games I’m most looking forward to next year.

Owlcat also shared a few deadlines for Founder’s Pack owners and anyone still thinking about buying one ahead of launch. The closed beta, which has been available on PC to Founder’s Pack owners since Warhammer Skulls in May, will close on January 7, 2027, ahead of the game’s launch. Founder’s Packs themselves will remain on sale through the game’s official website until early January, with bonuses depending on the edition, including a name in the credits and exclusive in-game rewards. Those who preordered the Collector’s Edition should log into their account on the site and confirm their shipping address is up to date, since Owlcat plans to start shipping those shortly after the game’s release.
