Developer Owlcat Games shared the gameplay trailer for the upcoming turn-based RPG Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy. The game also kicked off its alpha test, available to all Inquisition Acolytes who have pre-ordered the Developers Digital Pack or Collector’s Edition of the game.
“Owlcat Games, alongside the launch of the Alpha, presents the new Gameplay Trailer for the upcoming Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy. Become an acolyte of the Inquisition in this grimdark, party-based, story-driven cRPG. Lead investigations, uncover grand conspiracies, master tactical combat, and wage a secret war against heresy.”
In Dark Heresy, you will go through a completely different story within the endless warfare of the grim, dark 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.
