Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy Gets a Release Date of 28 January 2027

Owlcat Games has announced that Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy will be released on 28 January 2027. The game is a computer role-playing game, or CRPG, where players lead a group of characters through a story and make choices that shape what happens next.

The game is set to launch on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S/X, according to Eurogamer. A Nintendo Switch 2 version is also planned, but Owlcat has not yet given a release date for it. The studio will provide that date at a later time.

Players can try the game before launch through a beta, which is an early test version. The beta includes the complete first Act, the opening section of the story, and is open to buyers of the Founders edition, an early-buyer package. The beta will be taken offline on 7 January 2027, as Owlcat prepares the game for its full release three weeks later.

The date gives the studio a fixed point to work toward, and the beta closes on a set day so that the final version can be finished. Anyone who wants to play the full game will need to wait until 28 January 2027.
