  "account": "Warhammer 40K RPG Dark Heresy is set to launch at the end of January on January 28. This investigation-focused game, developed by Owlcat, is a departure from the studio's usual fantasy-themed titles, which have primarily been strategy and tactical combat focused. Owlcat's previous games have received mixed reviews from critics who had to review them during the pre-launch phase. However, Owlcat has a reputation for improving their games with patches and substantial story DLCs. For instance, Rogue Trader's final add-on, Processional of the Damned, is scheduled for release on December 8, just three years after the initial release of Rogue Trader. Owlcat is also working on the sci-fi shooter RPG The Expanse: Osiris Reborn in the same setting as Dark Heresy. Fans can wishlist Dark Heresy on Steam.",
