What Owlcat confirmed

Owlcat’s official release announcement puts the launch on 28 January 2027 for Xbox Series X|S. The studio’s X account framed it the same way: “The release date for Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy is set. On January 28, 2027, prepare to venture into the Calixis Sector.”

On Xbox you play a party-based cRPG as an Inquisition acolyte. You investigate cults and conspiracies, build a warband of humans, abhumans and xenos, and fight in turn-based tactical combat where morale matters. Decisions carry lasting consequences for the Calixis Sector story.

The game already has an Xbox Store page.
