Owlcat's awaited Warhammer 40K RPG Dark Heresy gets a release date, hoping to follow the good work of Rogue Trader

Owlcat Games has revealed a release date for its tactical role-playing sequel Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy. The game arrives 28th January, 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X. A Switch 2 release date will be provided "at a later date", a press release says.

Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy follows the good work laid down by Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader a couple of years ago. "Rogue Trader nails the 40k setting and provides an appropriately massive narrative filled with meaty tactical combat, though some bugs and poor performance hold it back," wrote Caeyln Ellis in Eurogamer's Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trade review.
