‘The Evil Within’ DLC Detailed, Season Pass Unveiled
Bethesda has revealed a season pass for their upcoming survival horror game The Evil Within, meaning they have plans for enough single-player DLC to warrant it. It’s not every day we see a horror game with this much post-release support — that is, if you don’t count the last few Resident Evils and the slew of crappy multiplayer content they brought with them. Below are some details on each of the three individual add-ons the season pass will unlock, as detailed by the BethBlog.
“In the first add-on, assume the role of The Keeper (aka Boxman) in a sadistic collection of mission-based maps. The second and third add-ons take you further down a path of madness in a two-part, story-driven experience in the role of Juli Kidman — Sebastian Castellanos’ rookie partner from The Evil Within. Encounter new weapons, discover unthinkable enemies, and new areas that reveal hidden motives and harrowing evil.”
For those interested, the season pass will run you $19.99/£14.99/€19.99. It will be available “soon”.
The Evil Within is slated to hit PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on October 14.
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.
