Alpha Testing of Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy Begins December 16

The team at Owlcat Games has announced the start date for the alpha testing of Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy. Players will be able to experience an early version of the game starting December 16 on Steam.

To participate, gamers simply need to pre-order Dark Heresy through the official website of the studio. However, it’s important to note that only two of the four editions of the title provide access to the alpha: the «Developer’s Digital Bundle» priced at $79 and the collector’s edition available for $289.

As a reminder, the protagonist of Dark Heresy is an acolyte of the Imperial Inquisition who must assemble a team and traverse planets in the Calixis sector in order to eliminate the enemies of humanity. A key threat arises from the sudden emergence of a Tyran Star.

Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy is being developed for PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series. No release date has been provided yet. Meanwhile, Owlcat Games continues to support Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. Along with producing new expansions, the developers revealed the launch date for the Switch 2 version, which will be available on Nintendo’s flagship console starting December 11.
