Warhammer 40K: Dark Heresy Announced as Owlcat Games Next CRPG Project

A New Shadow War Begins

Owlcat Games returns to the grim darkness of the far future with Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, their next CRPG following the critically acclaimed Rogue Trader. Revealed during Warhammer Skulls 2025, this immersive experience casts players as the Imperium's most feared heresy hunters.

"You shall serve the Inquisition. Your verdict shall be absolute."

Dive deeper than ever into the shadowy world of Imperial justice as an Inquisitorial acolyte. Set during the ominous Noctis Aeterna event, players will unravel the mystery of the Tyrant Star while commanding a squad of unique operatives ranging from battle-hardened Catachan Guardsmen to shrewd Kroot mercenaries. Building upon Rogue Trader's foundation, Dark Heresy introduces fully voiced dialogue, intricate investigative gameplay, and heart-stopping tactical combat where every decision carries brutal consequences.

Multiple Platforms Confirmed

While no release date has surfaced yet, Dark Heresy will blaze its unholy path onto PC (Steam/GOG/Epic) alongside PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms.

Rogue Trader's Dark Future Continues

Owlcat isn't abandoning their previous masterpiece either. Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader receives substantial new content including:

  • Lex Imperialis Expansion - Releases June 24, 2025
    Experience 15 brutal hours enforcing Imperial Law alongside new companion Solomorne Anthar and cybernetic battle creatures.
  • Season Pass 2
    Featuring two major expansions: one delving into Trazyn the Infinite's Necron vaults, and another exploring the nightmare-infested Processional of the Damned.

Each DLC brings approximately 15 additional gameplay hours with fresh companions, narrative arcs integrated into the main story, and game-changing mechanics.
