Owlcat Games announced yesterday, 10 November, that Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy comes out on 28 January on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. The Cyprus-based studio behind Rogue Trader says a Switch 2 version will follow later, with no date yet. On PC it launches on Steam, the Epic Games Store and GOG at the same time.
So the date is settled. What most people want to know next is whether they can lock in a copy now, and where.
Can you preorder it on Steam, Epic or GOG?
Not with a price attached. Steam shows the game as "coming soon" for 28 January, but there is no price on the page and no purchase button. GOG lists it the same way, coming soon with no price. Until Owlcat sets a price, the big PC stores can only take your wishlist.
What Owlcat is selling right now
The only paid routes today go through Owlcat's own website:
- Founder's Pack and Developer's Digital Pack: both give access to the complete first act before release. Owlcat will pull them from its store in early January. We don't know what either costs, so check Owlcat's site before deciding.
- Collector's Edition: a physical box that ships shortly after the digital launch. Buyers are asked to verify their shipping address.
The closed beta on Steam runs until 7 January, so the early-access window and the packs disappear at roughly the same time.
What we're seeing in the comparator
No store has a key on sale yet, on any platform. On PC the only offers are Steam Accounts: Key4Games has one at €16.56 with coupon GOCDKEYS16 (€17.45 with fees). A Steam Account means logging into somebody else's account; the game is never yours, and for a title that isn't out until 28 January we can't tell you what that account actually gives you before then. We wouldn't buy it. PS5 and Xbox have the same story: accounts only, at a higher price.
Reseller keys usually show up once the publisher has set a price and preorders open on the official stores.
The game itself
It's an RPG set in the Calixis sector. Owlcat drops some of Rogue Trader's systems in favour of investigation: you gather clues and evidence to work out what's going on. Combat is still turn-based and tactical, now with a morale meter for each companion that affects both fights and conversations. The crew includes Catachan Haymar, Saro and Cogg, plus two xenos just revealed: the aeldari corsair Laarthyr and the kroot Ra'akhti. There are no reviews or scores yet.
Our advice
If the first act is what you're after, Owlcat's packs are the only way in, and they go in January. If you'd rather wait for a proper Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy key, set a price alert and we'll email you when keys appear and when they drop to the price you pick.
