Today, Owlcat Games revealed a new detailed look at the detective system, an integral part of Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy. Investigating crimes and heresy is a challenging job, the occupation requiring both a very specific skillset and an iron stomach.

Every case in Dark Heresy starts with a question: what happened to the missing miners? Who killed the Canonness? But as the acolytes of the inquisition soon realize, finding the answer is never simple or straightforward — and sometimes not even desired. They have to find physical clues, interrogate witnesses and suspects, follow trails with the help of the servo-ossarium and slowly build an overview of what could have happened.

The companions contribute what they can: Epione has medical knowledge, Haymar knows everything about survival, Laarthyr can give useful insights into xenos behavior, and so on. Players then must weigh the evidence, establish what they think happened, and then decide the best course of action: do they accuse the most likely suspect, or place blame on the suspect whose downfall would be most useful for their overall goals? It all rests in The Inquisitor’s hands to decide and take responsibility, because in Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy innocence means nothing.

Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy launches on Windows PC via Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store, and consoles via PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
