There’s Even More DLC Coming to ‘The Last of Us’
Despite supporting the game with a slew of post-release DLC that’s expanded upon the game’s multiplayer and single-player offerings, Naughty Dog isn’t done delivering new content to The Last of Us. They have plans to continue supporting the game through 2014, but before you get too excited, all of it will be for the multiplayer. This means we won’t be seeing any more content like the excellent Left Behind expansion.
The news comes from Digital Spy, which had the opportunity to chat with Naughty Dog community strategist Arne Meyer.
“We just wanted to say when we released the Remastered version, we know there’s a lot of DLC out there, and that we weren’t going to stop supporting both the PS3 and PS4 versions,” Meyer said. “We do have some DLC planned; it’ll be multiplayer-focused. We’re not ready to talk about the details yet, but throughout the rest of the year we’ll have some DLC drops.”
The PS4-bound The Last of Us Remastered — due July 29 — will come bundled with Left Behind and most of the multiplayer DLC. Any DLC purchased on the PS3 version of the game will carry over to Remastered, and vice versa.
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.
