About This Game
In the darkness of the 41st millennium, heresy runs rampant in the Calixis Sector—whether in the filthy slums of the Imperium's heartland or the glittering spires where the elite gather, cults, conspiracies, and agents of ancient enemies fester in the shadows of sin. Players join the Inquisition as humble Acolytes, forming a squad of zealots and outcasts to investigate crimes and apostasy, rooting out evil before it's too late. Inquisitors must decide whether to recruit abhumans like Kog, dangerous psykers like Sallow, outcasts like Discodance, or even xenos such as the mysterious Eldar pirate Larse or the ogre Krutakti. During their crusade, players will encounter more human companions, such as the Catachan warrior Haima, the bored free trader Joda, or the enigmatic Tuma, each with their own plans and motives for joining the Inquisition.
Each companion possesses unique skills that contribute to the Inquisition's cause, whether utilized in refined tactical combat or offering advice during investigations. Inquisitors are free to choose how they complete their missions; whether they pursue the truth at any cost or sacrifice the innocent for personal gain, it is their duty. They must understand that every decision has consequences—whether intended or not.
The Founder's Pack for Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy is still available for purchase on the official website until early January. The Beta test, currently open to all Founders, will close on January 7 to prepare for the official launch.
