A Loyal Acolyte for the Inquisition: “Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy” Reveals Cogg, the Ogryn

The Inquisition needs loyal followers and there is no one more loyal than the Ogryn Conscript 0-118-B. Nicknamed Cogg, Owlcat Games revealed this devoted acolyte today in a new companion trailer. Cogg will be part of the Inquisitor’s entourage, playable in the Warhammer: 40,000: Dark Heresy Alpha launching December 16 on Steam.

‍

Cogg is a member of the Abhuman subspecies called Ogryn: sturdy, strong, and not very intelligent, these mutated giants are fiercely loyal to the Imperium of Mankind. While still not the brightest bulb in the gothic chandelier, Cogg is a quicker thinker than most of his brethren thanks to his Biochemical Ogryn Neural Enhancement (BONE) and cranial implant. He served in the Astra Militarum shock troops as an unstoppable killing machine, impervious to obstacles or injury.

‍

After a tragic incident he is left stranded in Hive Sibellus — doomed to fade away until the Inquisitor steps in to bless his life with new purpose.

‍

Inquisitors will be able to experience Cogg’s armor splitting strength and indestructibility themselves in Warhammer: 40,000: Dark Heresy. Cogg will be fully voiced upon release, with his voice actor to be revealed at a later time. Players can join the Alpha by contributing to the development process and becoming a Founder on the Owlcat Games website. Alpha Access is one of the rewards included in the $79 tier and the $289 Collector’s Edition.

About Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy

‍

‍Step into the shadows as an acolyte of the Inquisition in Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, a second narrative-driven tactical RPG set in the beloved grimdark universe. Set against the backdrop of the Noctis Aeterna and the mystery of the Tyrant Star, players will lead a warband of diverse companions in a desperate battle against heresy and corruption, from loyal Imperial subjects, such as a veteran Guardsman from the death world of Catachan, to nefarious xenos, including a bird-like Kroot mercenary. With intricate investigations, a turn-based combat system, and choices that carry grave consequences, Dark Heresy is an atmospheric dive into the brutality and mysticism of one of the Imperium’s most feared organizations. The game greatly expands on the ideas introduced in Rogue Trader and features fully voiced dialogues.
