The PS5 edition starts at £49.99 / $59.99 / €59.99, and the Switch 2 edition is priced at £59.99 / $69.99 / €69.99. An announcement trailer was released alongside the news.
The release does not mention a digital console release date. Steam currently lists the PC version as coming on January 28th 2027.
How Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy plays
Players take the role of an acolyte of the Inquisition, tasked with rooting out treason, alien infiltration and dangerous cults. The release says tactical turn-based combat is paired with ‘deep, unforgiving’ investigative storytelling, where a single wrong interrogation choice can condemn an entire world to Exterminatus, the Imperium’s term for destroying a planet and everyone on it.
The story is set in the Calixis Sector, a region of the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Turn-based combat is a style where each side acts in turn rather than in real time.
