Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy gets a date — 28 January 2027
Owlcat Games has dated its next Warhammer 40,000 role-playing game: Dark Heresy launches on 28 January 2027 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with a Nintendo Switch 2 version to follow at a later, unannounced date. The studio announced the date on 9 November alongside a new release-date trailer. The party-based, story-driven cRPG puts players in the boots of an Inquisitor’s acolyte hunting heresy in the Calixis Sector, following Owlcat’s earlier Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. Founder’s Packs remain on sale until early January, and the beta — open to all founders — closes on 7 January so the team can prepare for launch. Dark Heresy was first announced in May 2025 during the Warhammer Skulls showcase, and an open alpha ran in December 2025 before moving into beta in May 2026.
