Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy launches January 28, 2027 on PS5: what we know so far
2026-11-11 · Guides
On November 9, 2026, Owlcat Games announced the release date for Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy: January 28, 2027. It's coming to PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. RPG Site, PlayStation Universe and Wccftech all confirm the date, which arrived with a new trailer.
What kind of game is it?
Dark Heresy is a story-driven, party-based RPG with turn-based combat. It comes from the team behind 2023's Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, and Owlcat is both developer and publisher.
You play an acolyte of the Inquisition leading a warband through the Calixis Sector. Where Rogue Trader cast you as a merchant lord with a voidship, this one makes you an investigator.
Key features
From the game's Steam page and coverage by RPG Site and Turn Based Lovers:
- Investigations. Interrogations, evidence and conspiracies run on a dedicated system.
- Reworked combat. You can target weak points, and every fighter has their own morale.
- Choices with consequences, as in the studio's earlier games.
- Companions. The named cast includes the psyker Saro, the Catachan veteran Haymar and Ra'akhti, a Kroot. A Kroot party member is a rare thing in a Warhammer game.
- Voice acting. The Steam page lists fully voiced dialogue, in English.
