Into the Grim Darkness: The Alpha Launch of Dark Heresy

A new chapter unfolds with the Alpha launch of Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, highlighted by an impressive trailer that sets the stage for an immersive role-playing journey in a stark future.

Owlcat Games introduced this early version with the intent to capture the same atmospheric experience seen in their 2023 CRPG, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. In this reimagined universe, players are drawn into the grim and evolving narrative that defines the Warhammer 40,000 setting.

The latest trailer offers a glimpse of gameplay that, while retaining the familiar top-down, turn-based format, also ventures into investigative territory. Players will find themselves unraveling mysteries by gathering clues and drawing their own conclusions on intricate cases.

The adventure is further enriched by a diverse team of companions, including:

• A member of the enigmatic Aeldari, skilled in maritime raids
• An agile warrior of the Kroot race
• A resilient fighter from the ranks of the Ogryns

While the new trailer leaves the release schedule undisclosed, anticipation builds for the day when contributors will step into the role of inquisitors, ready to shape their own destiny in this dark future.
