"Dark Heresy: New cRPG from Rogue Trader Devs"

Owlcat Games has exciting news for fans of the Warhammer 40,000 universe with the announcement of their next cRPG, Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, following the success of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. Unveiled during the Warhammer Skulls 2025 showcase, Dark Heresy invites players to step into the role of an Inquisitor, one of the Imperium's most feared heresy hunters. Here's the official description:

Step into the shadows as an acolyte of the Inquisition in Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, a second narrative-driven tactical RPG set in the beloved grimdark universe. Set against the backdrop of the Noctis Aeterna and the mystery of the Tyrant Star, players will lead a warband of diverse companions in a desperate battle against heresy and corruption—from loyal Imperial subjects, such as a veteran Guardsman from the death world of Catachan, to nefarious xenos, including a bird-like Kroot mercenary.

With intricate investigations, a turn-based combat system, and choices that carry grave consequences, Dark Heresy is set to deliver an atmospheric dive into the brutality and mysticism of one of the Imperium’s most feared organizations. The game greatly expands on the ideas introduced in Rogue Trader and features fully voiced dialogues.

Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy is slated for release on PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. Although no specific release window was provided, anticipation is high for this immersive experience.

Meanwhile, Owlcat Games has also shared plans for future content for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, including the second major story expansion, Lex Imperialis, and Season Pass 2, which will include two additional DLC expansions and an appearance customization pack.

Lex Imperialis, set to launch on June 24, 2025, will immerse players in the realm of Imperial Law, featuring a new 15-hour storyline that introduces the Adeptus Arbites, a faction of incorruptible enforcers, and a new companion, the grim and relentless Solomorne Anthar. This expansion will also introduce battle Familiars such as cybernetic eagles and cyber-mastiffs, enhancing both the gameplay and narrative elements of Rogue Trader.

Season Pass 2 for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader promises even more thrilling content. The third expansion will allow players to delve into a Necron vault overseen by the beloved character Trazyn the Infinite, where they'll face ancient guardians and uncover relics linked to the Von Valancius legacy. The fourth expansion will take players to the Processional of the Damned, a surreal voidship graveyard, offering a descent into madness and mystery. Each of these expansions will introduce new companions, quests deeply integrated into the main storyline, new mechanics, and approximately 15 hours of gameplay.
