Developer and publisher Owlcat Games has finally announced a release date for Warhammer 40K: Dark Heresy. The studio's latest game in the Warhammer universe following 2025's Rogue Trader will once again be a CRPG. The game is set to be released on Jan. 28, 2027.
Owlcat Games announced the release date in an official press release alongside a new trailer for the game showing off the world and combat. Here's Dark Heresy's official synopsis:
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.
Unfortunately, the release date is only for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC versions of the game. Nintendo Switch 2 users will have to wait a little longer to find out when they will get their hands on Dark Heresy.
As part of preparations for the game's full release, Owlcat Games also revealed that the ongoing beta of Dark Heresy will finally end. You'll have until Jan. 7 to enjoy the beta version before having to endure a short two-week break until the actual launch date. Additionally, players have until "early January" to pre-order the game's various Founder's Packs to earn special in-game items and perks.
