Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy releases in January, leaving not very long to prepare for all the crunchy cRPG choices and secret wars it'll lob your way

Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy is set to release in January 2027, leaving limited time for players to prepare before diving into its complex character role-playing game (cRPG) experience. The game's investigation begins on January 28th, announced by Owlcat on Steam. The beta version will close on January 7th to pave the way for the full release.

Dark Heresy allows players to assume the role of an Inquisitor in the grim future of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Players begin their service as acolytes of the Inquisition, tasked with investigating heresy, commanding a diverse warband, and shaping the fate of the Calixis Sector. The game offers a rich story experience where every decision carries significant weight, and the line between salvation and damnation is razor-thin.

Players dive deep into the organization of the Inquisition, its power, bureaucracy, and internal conflicts like never before.

As an Inquisitor, the primary goal is to protect the Imperium from threats such as xenos influence, heretic betrayal, and mutant scourge—all by any means necessary. The game immerses players in the maddening Tyrant Star mysteries and helps them overcome the worst horrors thrown at them by the Noctis Aeterna. With its intricate investigations and intense storytelling, Dark Heresy promises a thrilling experience in the Warhammer 40,000 universe.
