Publisher and developer Owlcat Games announced, during today’s Warhammer Skulls 2026 showcase, that the closed beta for its upcoming RPG Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy is now live on PC.
Available for anyone who purchased one of the Dark Heresy Founder’s Packs from the official website, the PC closed beta travel sees inquisitors exploring Scintilla’s spires and “mingling with the planet’s prestigious elites.”
Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy PC Closed Beta Goes Live
In addition to its new area, Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy’s PC closed beta also introduces “potential new companions,” while tasking us with uncovering “what is really going on in the governor’s palace.”
Promising “around” seven hours’ worth of content, this version of the RPG will remain playable until the title fully launches.
In case you’re unaware, Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy sees us taking on the mantle of an aсolyte of the Inquisition working in the Calixis Sector.
Alongside a diverse party of companions, we investigate heresies while thwarting the efforts of cults aiming to undermine the Imperium’s efforts.
The title’s alpha version gave us a first taste of acting as an agent of the Emperor, tasking us with hunting heretics through the slums of Marisportum Sectoris.
Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy doesn’t yet have a release date, but its closed beta was accompanied by a fresh trailer that gives us a glimpse at some of the title’s areas and gory turn-based combat encounters. In addition, the contents of its collector’s edition were also showcased in a separate video.
