Owlcat Games has confirmed that Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy will be released on Nintendo Switch 2, the studio announced today.
The developer did not provide a specific release date for the console version, saying only that timing for the Nintendo Switch 2 port will be shared at a later time.
Owlcat previously brought Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader to Nintendo Switch 2, marking a continuation of its work adapting Warhammer CRPGs for Nintendo hardware.
Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy is a narrative-driven tactical RPG set in Games Workshop’s grimdark 41st Millennium.
Owlcat describes the game as placing players in the role of Inquisition acolytes operating within the Calixis Sector, a region rife with cults, conspiracies and corruption.
Players assemble and lead a warband to investigate crimes and root out apostasy across environments that range from undercity slums to elite spires.
Owlcat summarized the party dynamics by saying players will command a warband of diverse companions — from loyal Imperial recruits like a veteran Guardsman from the death world of Catachan to xenos allies such as a bird-like Kroot mercenary — united in a desperate struggle against heresy and corruption.
The studio also outlines a broad companion roster that includes abhumans like Cogg, dangerous psykers such as Saro, pariahs like Discordance, the Aeldari corsair Laarthyr, the Kroot Ra’akhti and human characters like the Catachan fighter Haymar, Rogue Trader Chorda and the enigmatic Touma.
Each companion brings unique skills that factor into both the game’s tactical combat encounters and investigative sequences, and Owlcat emphasizes that player choices during investigations and missions carry consequences.
Practical details: Founder’s Packs for Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy remain available on Owlcat’s website until the beginning of January.
The game’s Founder Beta, currently open to pack purchasers, is scheduled to close on January 7 to allow the team to prepare for launch.
Owlcat is known for its CRPG work, including the Pathfinder series and its recent Warhammer 40K titles, and continues to expand its presence on Nintendo’s latest hardware.
An official trailer for Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy is available from Owlcat.
The studio has said it will provide further platform and launch timing information in future announcements.
