Developer Owlcat Games shared some exciting news, Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy alpha will be launching on PC (Steam) on December 16! To celebrate the occasion, the team also shared a small teaser that you can find above.
“Watch the Alpha Release Date Trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy — a party-based, story-driven cRPG from Owlcat Games. As an acolyte of the Inquisition, lead investigations, uncover vast conspiracies, master tactical combat, and make decisive choices in service of the God-Emperor.”
In the upcoming game, you will go through a completely different story within the endless warfare of the far future when compared to the previous game of the developer. Unlike the heir of the von Valancius dynasty, you are but an Acolyte of the Holy Inquisition, nowhere near to the opulence and freedom of a Rogue Trader. As an operative with no grand armadas and no vast resources, you will pursue your goals in shadows and serve as a tool in a secret war against corruption.
Your investigation takes you to the heart of the Calixis Sector, which rots from the inside, isolated by the Great Rift. Dark Heresy tells a gritty, detective-style story that unfolds in a universe drowning in lies and decay. Prepare to face the threat of the Tyrant Star, a celestial anomaly that plunges entire worlds into madness. The sinister Night Lords will stand in your way. It is your duty to find out how the two are related.
