Possible ‘Grand Theft Auto V’ Zombie DLC Uncovered
YouTuber Chr0m3xMoDz has uncovered evidence that points at the strong possibility that Grand Theft Auto V may be getting some single-player zombie-themed DLC in the future. After searching through the game’s code, he discovered a “Dead” option on the DLC selection screen which, when selected, checks for “SPZOMBIES”.
It’s no secret that space zombies are the most terrifying kind of undead — a notch above the dreaded deep sea zombies — so if their kind is about to shuffle onto the busy streets of Los Santos, we’ll need to take this time to prepare. I suggest you buy every gun shop you can. You’ll need the ammunition.
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.
