‘Until Dawn’ May Be Coming To Project Morpheus
The “definitely not cancelled” survival horror game from developer Supermassive Games is still very much in development and, according to a new rumor, the project is being turned into a title for Sony’s newly unveiled Project Morpheus VR headset. This means we likely won’t see it for awhile, since Morpheus is still a ways off. On the plus side, virtual reality is far more exciting and immersive than Move could ever hope to be, so if this proves true, it’s a smart move.
This potentially very exciting news comes from a report at Polygon, which claims an anonymous source broke the news.
For the unfamiliar, Until Dawn is a game inspired by the teen slasher subgenre of films. It follows a group of teens who decide to spend the night in a cabin on the anniversary of the death of one of their friends, but, this being a horror game, their solemn night of remembrance is interrupted by the arrival of a murderous psychopath.
Polygon had the chance to sit down with Shuhei Yoshida head honcho at Sony World Wide Studios at GDC earlier this month. When asked about the game’s status, Yoshida confirmed it hasn’t been cancelled and that, regarding its rumored move to Project Morpheus, that it “would be very interesting, because it’s a horror game, and the people are tweeting to me, ‘I want to play Outlast in Morpheus.’ I think that’s, in terms of genre, that’s a really good fit. If you really want to make serious games for Morpheus, the game design would be really, really different.”
So Until Dawn is still coming. We just need to be patient.

Legendary Grimdark ‘Warhammer 40,000’ Artist John Blanche Has Passed Away at 78
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.
