Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader was a big hit for developer Owlcat Games, and the studio is planning to extend its time in that grimdark universe thatwith its next game, Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy. Like Rogue Trader, this will be a CRPG game, but it won’t be out for a while yet. In the meantime, you can prepare for it by dressing up your desktop or mobile device with some high-resolution wallpapers that shows off the decaying worlds players will explore. The mobile wallpapers are quite nice here, as you’re getting detailed mugshots of several characters to decorate your smartphone with.
As an Inquisitor, players will have to investigate a crumbling empire rotting from within and purge it of any heretical threats lurking in the shadows. Dark Heresy features turn-based combat, and Owlcat says that “choices that carry grave consequences” will occur during your adventure. The gameplay and ideas introduced in Rogue Trader have also been greatly expanded in this follow-up, and the game will eventually be released for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
It’s not the only Warhammer 40K game in development, as Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 will arrive in 2026, the Adeptus Mechanicus return in Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus 2, and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 3 will continue the story of Captain Titus. The threequel is still in the early stages of development, but developer Saber Interactive does have big plans for Space Marine 2 as it enters its second year of duty. A new class–the Techmarine–is being added to the game in 2026, and future updates will add new PvE missions, progression upgrades, and much more.
If you haven’t tried it out yet, you can hop into the action with the Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 Ultima Limited Edition when it lands on November 18 for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
