Players can explore the new Ashkelon Sector and bring to life epic tales where it is always a minute from eternal midnight, and only their combined efforts can defeat those foes that threaten humanity and stave off the end for one more day.

The game is characterized by danger, mystery, and brutal violence, as players are tasked with rooting out threats that imperil all of humanity on the orders of an Inquisitor, at the front lines of a great and secret war. They can never rest, for the multitudes of terrors desiring humanity's extinction are ever-present.

Whether players are investigating heretical cults, confronting otherworldly horrors, or uncovering vast conspiracies, Dark Heresy Second Edition offers a thrilling and immersive experience that challenges them to push the boundaries of their courage and resolve. The game's focus on the darkest corners of the Imperium, where the forces of Chaos and other malevolent entities constantly threaten to overwhelm humanity, creates a sense of urgency and dread that permeates every aspect of the gameplay.

Through the use of detailed character creation, intricate skill systems, and a robust combat mechanic, Dark Heresy Second Edition allows players to craft unique and compelling characters, each with their own motivations, flaws, and abilities, as they navigate the treacherous path of the Inquisition. The game's narrative-driven approach encourages players to engage in deep roleplaying, as they grapple with the moral dilemmas and ethical quandaries that arise in the face of such overwhelming darkness.
