During Warhammer Skulls, developer and publisher Owlcat Games made two major announcements — the release date of Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader’s upcoming DLC, Lex Imperialis, and the highly anticipated reveal of Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy.

Become an Inquisitor in Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy

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.

Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy is coming to Windows PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store) 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.

Bring Justice to the Koronus Expanse with the Lex Imperialis Expansion

Launching June 24, 2025, Lex Imperialis is the second major expansion for Warhammer 40,00: Rogue Trader. Thrusting players into the iron grip of Imperial Law, this DLC features a new 15-hour storyline that introduces the Adeptus Arbites, a faction of incorruptible enforcers, and a new companion—the grim and relentless Solomorne Anthar. With battle Familiars like cybernetic eagles and cyber-mastiffs, this DLC deeply enriches the gameplay and narrative layers of Rogue Trader.

Players who pre-purchase the new Season Pass will receive an exclusive Appearance Pack. This includes new hairstyles and augmenting implants that become instantly available for customizing their Lord Captain.

During the Warhammer Skulls Sale, Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader is available at 50% off across all platforms: Windows PC via Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store, as well as on console via PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
