Watch the Dark Heresy Combat Gameplay Showcase

Posted on by

Take a look at alpha gameplay from Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy in this new trailer for the upcoming party-based, story-driven cRPG. Access to the Alpha is available with the Collector’s Edition and Developers pack.

Lead investigations, uncover grand conspiracies, master tactical combat, and wage a secret war against heresy. Make tough choices as a conduit of the God-Emperor’s will.

While Dark Heresy’s combat system retains the core principles of Rogue Trader, it also adds new layers: characters can target their enemies’ weak points with both ranged and melee weapons to incapacitate them or do maximum damage to a specific part of the body. They can also break a whole group’s resolve by overwhelming enemies with their prowess and end fights early. This befits agents of the Inquisition, experts at breaking the bodies and spirits of Mankind’s foes.

Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy is coming to PC (Epic Games Store, Steam, and GOG), PlayStation 5 (PS5), and Xbox Series X/S. Become an acolyte of the Inquisition in this grim dark, party-based, story-driven cRPG.

During the Warhammer Skulls event, Owlcat Games revealed Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy. Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy is coming to Windows PC and consoles (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S). The players can add the game to their wishlist and support the development process by purchasing a Founder’s Pack on the official website.

Step into the shadows as an acolyte of the Inquisition in Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, a second narrative-driven tactical RPG set in the beloved grimdark universe. Set against the backdrop of the Noctis Aeterna and the mystery of the Tyrant Star, players will lead a warband of diverse companions in a desperate battle against heresy and corruption, from loyal Imperial subjects, such as a veteran Guardsman from the death world of Catachan, to nefarious xenos, including a bird-like Kroot mercenary. With intricate investigations, a turn-based combat system, and choices that carry grave consequences, Dark Heresy is an atmospheric dive into the brutality and mysticism of one of the Imperium’s most feared organizations. The game greatly expands on the ideas introduced in Rogue Trader and features fully voiced dialogues.
