Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy

‍In Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy, players become an aсolyte of the Inquisition in the Calixis Sector. With their warband of deadly, dedicated fellow acolytes, they will uncover heresies and conspiracies, rooting out cults seeking to harm the Empire of Mankind. In the alpha, players were able to hunt down cultists and other heretic scum in the disgusting slums of Marisportum Sectoris. In the beta, they will travel to Scintilla’s spires, mingling with the planet’s prestigious elites. Players will also meet potential new companions, encounter powerful members of the nobility — the clergy and military — and need to uncover what is really going on in the governor’s palace. The beta contains around 20 hours of playtime and will stay open until the game’s release.
