Owlcat Games sets January 28, 2027 release date for PC, PS5, and Xbox
Players will step into the world of the Calixis sector as acolytes of the Inquisition, which is a unique part of the narrative that sets it apart from other space opera style games. The game is set in the Calixis sector and features a narrative centered around the Inquisition and their acolytes. Players take on the role of acolytes of the Inquisition and deal with threats in the Calixis sector.
The game is now in the beta stages of development, having gone past the Open Alpha. The studio revealed that the beta launched in May of 2026 and will go offline on January 7, 2027 – just three weeks away from the full commercial launch of the game. This is the last phase of public testing before the game gets released across all supported platforms.
The upcoming game will release on PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store) and the PS5 and Xbox Series S|X consoles. This way, no matter what ecosystem you prefer, you'll be able to get the game at the same time as everyone else. This launch also coincides with the last DLC for the previous title Rogue Trader, which will be released on December 8.
As the studio works on this launch, they're also juggling other projects like development on The Expanse: Osiris Reborn for Spring 2027. In addition, they're gearing up to conclude the Dark Heresy beta cycle so they can shift attention to post-launch support. Also, Owlcat Games will launch the final DLC for Rogue Trader in December and are developing The Expanse: Osiris Reborn for Spring 2027.
