Return To Mount Massive Asylum In The Upcoming ‘Outlast’ Expansion!
Today, it was confirmed that developer Red Barrels is currently hard at work on DLC for Outlast, a game that is, so far, my favorite horror game of the year. It’s absolutely terrifying and while I’m excited to return to Mount Massive Asylum, I’ll admit that part of me is dreading a return to those fear-filled halls. So far, all we know about this DLC is it will follow a different protagonist — I think we can all agree that Miles Upshur has had enough — as well as a brand new story-line. We’ll find out more when the expansion is officially revealed on Halloween.
If you haven’t gotten your hands on this horrifying game, now is the best time to do so as it’s currently 75% off on the Red Barrels website. If you buy it there you’ll get the discount, a DRM-free version of Outlast, a Steam key and the soundtrack. Not a bad deal, if you ask me.
If you missed out on David and my playthrough of the game, you can watch us play through it in its entirety here!

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.
