Developer Owlcat Games is back with a new trailer for the upcoming Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy. Over two minutes, it will introduce you to the setting and share some differences from the team’s previous Warhammer game, Rogue Trader.
In the upcoming game, you will go through a completely different story within the endless warfare of the far future. Unlike the heir of the von Valancius dynasty, you are but an Acolyte of the Holy Inquisition, nowhere near to the opulence and freedom of a Rogue Trader. As an operative with no grand armadas and no vast resources, you will pursue your goals in shadows and serve as a tool in a secret war against corruption.
Your investigation takes you to the heart of the Calixis Sector, which rots from the inside, isolated by the Great Rift. Dark Heresy tells a gritty, detective-style story that unfolds in a universe drowning in lies and decay. Prepare to face the threat of the Tyrant Star, a celestial anomaly that plunges entire worlds into madness. The sinister Night Lords will stand in your way. It is your duty to find out how the two are related.
