Hey everyone, there’s a new rumor I wanted to bring up. A popular content creator is suggesting that Owlcat Games has potentially struck a deal with Games Workshop to create a Dark Heresy video game. While we should approach this information with caution, it’s important to note that this isn’t just typical speculation from the source, but rather a claim originating from someone within the industry. How do you all feel about the idea of Owlcat working on a Dark Heresy game? Would it excite you to see this setting brought to life by them?
Man I really hope this turns out to be true. Dark Heresy has always felt like it was made for a proper CRPG treatment but nobody’s ever tried it. All the investigation stuff, the constant threat of corruption, managing sanity alongside health bars. Owlcat could actually pull off something unique here instead of just another 40k shooter or RTS.
Would be cool if true but Owlcat’s already got their hands full with other projects right now.
Owlcat doing Dark Heresy sounds pretty solid actually. They’ve got the RPG chops from Pathfinder and know how to handle complex systems. Dark Heresy’s grimdark investigative stuff could work really well with their style.
The 40k setting is perfect for their kind of detailed character building and party management. Plus they’re not afraid of darker themes so they could actually do the Inquisition justice instead of watering it down.
Dark Heresy would be amazing in the right hands. The investigation mechanics mixed with 40k’s atmosphere could make for something really special if they nail the paranoia and corruption aspects.
Owlcat’s dialogue trees would fit perfectly with all the moral corruption choices in Dark Heresy
