Owlcat Games has confirmed that Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy will be released on January 28, 2027. As the studio's second Warhammer 40,000 CRPG, the title will launch during a crowded early-year window packed with new releases.
Owlcat Games previously developed Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. Push Square gave the game a positive review, particularly praising its character roster, engaging mission design, and use of the Warhammer 40,000 universe, leading them to believe that Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy has the potential to surpass its predecessor.
Several new titles are scheduled around Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy's release window. Stranger Than Heaven and Forza Horizon 6 have similar release dates, while Record and Until Dawn 2 are also set to launch on January 28.
The following week will see the release of Metro 2039, while the subsequent lineup includes Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, Persona 4: Revival, and Fable. Thus, as Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy locks in its release date, it will also compete for players' time amidst the dense slate of new titles in early 2027.
