Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy is getting physical editions for PS5 and Nintendo Switch 2 on 30 April 2027. Silver Lining Interactive has announced the boxed releases with Owlcat Games, with pre-orders now open through the publisher’s own shop and retailers.
The distinction between editions matters here. April is the date for these physical releases, while Owlcat has already announced a 28 January 2027 digital launch on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.
UK pricing starts at £49.99 for the PS5 boxed edition and £59.99 for Switch 2. Both dates and prices are listed through Silver Lining Direct, giving collectors a separate option if they would rather make room on the shelf than add another icon to the dashboard.
Dark Heresy puts you into the service of the Inquisition as an acolyte investigating corruption in the Calixis Sector. That means gathering evidence, interrogating suspects and deciding how far to push in pursuit of the truth, within an organisation whose reputation for measured restraint is not exactly spotless.
The role-playing game combines those investigations with tactical turn-based combat. Your warband brings different perspectives and abilities to both the fighting and the cases, with companions drawn from the Imperium and beyond.
Owlcat’s public description also emphasises consequences. How you handle an investigation can matter beyond the immediate verdict, while combat rewards planning around enemy weaknesses and the morale of individual party members.
For anyone keeping track of the release calendar, the useful takeaway is simple: January’s digital launch and April’s boxed editions are separate announcements. The new Switch 2 physical listing should also be read as its own dated product, rather than assuming it shares the earlier PS5 and PC digital date.
The PS5 edition and Switch 2 edition are listed on the publisher’s official store. Both physical editions are due on 30 April 2027.
