It’s A Next-Gen Horror Game Showdown! Which Are You Most Looking Forward To?
Welcome to another episode of Showdown! Last week we pitted the Silent Hill franchise against itself and today the fight is between four incredibly exciting next-gen horror games.
Battling for the title of ‘Most Anticipated Horror Game’ is Daylight, Dying Light, Dead Rising 3 and The Evil Within. Let us know which horror game you’re most excited for by voting in the poll I have waiting for your input after the jump, and feel free to let me know why you chose the game you did in the comments!
Now, you may be wondering why Frictional’s SOMA isn’t on the list. That’s because they decided to unveil it the day after I had made and uploaded this video. I wasn’t able to include it in the video, but I’ll include it in the poll, in case you want to give it a vote.

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only war, but it was a cheerful illustrator from England who helped to define the terrifying war-torn imagery that inspired what we now know as Grimdark (a hybrid genre combining horror with sci-fi/fantasy).
Unfortunately for fans of Warhammer 40,000, Trench Crusade and countless other sources of Grimdark thrills, veteran artist John Blanche passed away this week after struggling with health issues for the past few years.
While the artist retired back in 2023, he leaves us with an enormous legacy of iconic artwork that continues to inspire gamers and storytellers around the world to this very day.
The news is especially gloomy as it was only last year that Daniel Lowman and Napoleon Dynamite himself Jon Heder released The Grim & the Dark: The Search for John Blanche, a documentary following Heder’s exploration of the Grimdark genre culminating in a heartwarming encounter with Blanche in his own home.
Below is one of my favorite pieces by Blanche, his highly influential depiction of Warhammer 40k’s God-Emperor of Mankind on his Golden Throne.
We send our deepest condolences to John Blanche’s family, friends, and fans.
