"Dark Heresy: New cRPG Announced by Rogue Trader Developer"

Owlcat Games has thrilled fans with the announcement of their latest venture into the Warhammer 40,000 universe: *Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy*. Following the success of *Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader*, this new cRPG promises to immerse players in the grimdark world of the Imperium as an Inquisitor, one of its most feared enforcers. Unveiled at the Warhammer Skulls 2025 showcase, the game offers a deep narrative-driven experience set during the tumultuous times of the Noctis Aeterna and the enigma of the Tyrant Star.

In *Dark Heresy*, players will take on the role of an acolyte of the Inquisition, leading a diverse warband in a relentless fight against heresy and corruption. This team will include characters ranging from a battle-hardened Guardsman from the death world of Catachan to exotic xenos like a Kroot mercenary. The game will feature intricate investigations, a strategic turn-based combat system, and impactful choices, all set to deliver a rich, atmospheric experience that delves into the brutal and mystical world of the Inquisition. *Dark Heresy* builds upon the foundation laid by *Rogue Trader*, with fully voiced dialogues enhancing the immersive storytelling.

*Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy* is slated for release on PC via Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store, as well as on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S. While a specific release window remains under wraps, anticipation is already building among fans eager to explore this shadowy corner of the Warhammer universe.
