As of now, there is no official announcement from Owlcat Games regarding a new Dark Heresy RPG project. Owlcat Games is best known for developing and publishing Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, a critically acclaimed tabletop RPG adaptation, and has previously worked on Pathfinder: Kingmaker. They have expressed interest in the Dark Heresy universe, which is based on the Warhammer 40,000 setting and published by Fantasy Flight Games (FFG), but no concrete project has been confirmed. There was some speculation and fan excitement in 2023 when Owlcat Games hinted at potentially exploring new IP collaborations, including properties from the Warhammer universe, but nothing has been officially greenlit or released. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, it's best to follow official sources such as Owlcat Games’ website, their social media channels (Twitter/X, Instagram), or press releases. Please note: As of my knowledge cutoff in June 2024, no official Dark Heresy RPG project from Owlcat Games has been revealed.
