Owlcat Games of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader fame has announced a new CRPG in the 40K universe. Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy is coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, and though a release date is unknown, you can check out the first trailer below.
Players control as Inquisitor tasked with investigating heresy in the Calixis Sector. You’ll look into conspiracies, interrogate individuals and ultimately root out corruption. However, the developer teases the possibility of going too far for the sake of your mission, and since every decision has weight, things could take a dark turn. That’s not even accounting for the Tyrant Star in the sky and the impending Long Night spawning all kinds of horrors.
Fortunately, you won’t be alone, instead commanding a band warband of different companions, including Epione Spes, a medicae specialist; Haymar Devos, an Astra Militarum member; Conscript 0-118-B or COGG, an Ogryn who also served the Astra Militarum; Ra’akhti, a Kroot tracker; and Laarthyr Cairnareth, an Aeldari Corsair. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.
