  In this contribution I review the present status and discuss some prospects
for indirect detection of dark matter with gamma-rays. Thanks to the Fermi
Large Area Telescope, searches in gamma-rays have reached sensitivities that
allow to probe the most interesting parameter space of the weakly interacting
massive particles (WIMP) paradigm. This gain in sensitivity is naturally
accompanied by a number of detection claims or indications, the most recent
being the claim of a line feature at a dark matter particle mass of $\sim$ 130
GeV at the Galactic Centre, a claim which requires confirmation from the
Fermi-LAT collaboration and other experiments, for example HESS II or the
planned Gamma-400 satellite. Predictions for the next generation air Cherenkov
telescope, Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA), together with forecasts on future
Fermi-LAT constraints arrive at the exciting possibility that the cosmological
benchmark cross-section could be probed from masses of a few GeV to a few TeV.
Consequently, non-detection would pose a challenge to the WIMP paradigm, but
the reached sensitivities also imply that --optimistically-- a detection is in
the cards.
