  • Primary Driver: Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy gets a firm January 28, 2027 launch date across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S|X.

Rock Paper Shotgun first reported that Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy would release in January, leaving little time to prepare for its crunchy cRPG choices and secret wars. Wccftech later specified the exact date as January 28, 2027, confirming PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S|X platforms and placing players in the Inquisition. PC Gamer framed it as the follow-up to Rogue Trader launching at the end of January, while GameSpot described an early 2027 release date, creating a slight variance in how broadly outlets characterized the timing window. The current state is a confirmed January 28, 2027 release on three platforms, developed by Owlcat Games.
