During the Warhammer Skulls 2025 showcase, Owlcat Games revealed their next big game: Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy. If you enjoyed Rogue Trader, get ready for another deep and dark story in the Warhammer 40K universe, this time, as an Acolyte of the Inquisition.
You can take a look at the trailer here:
A New Warhammer Adventure
Dark Heresy is a CRPG (classic role-playing game) where you play as someone working for the Inquisition, sent to uncover heresy and corruption in a far-off part of the galaxy called the Calixis Sector. It’s a spooky and dangerous place, filled with dark secrets and strange events.
You won’t be alone: you’ll build a team and make tough choices that will shape the story. Every decision matters, and the game promises a rich, detailed world with deep characters and intense moments.
Inspired by the Tabletop Game
The game is based on the Dark Heresy tabletop role-playing game, first published years ago by Black Industries. While it’s not a direct copy of any one campaign, it’s clearly inspired by that dark and mysterious world.
The trailer shows both gameplay and story scenes. If you liked Rogue Trader, you’ll feel right at home! Dark Heresy looks like it builds on everything Owlcat did well in that game.
Owlcat Games is known for making deep and story-rich CRPGs, and Dark Heresy looks like another strong entry. You can check out all the different editions of the game on the official website. While no specific date has been announced yet, you can already Wishlist the game on Steam!
