‘The Evil Within’ Will Take 15-20 Hours to Finish
If that season pass announcement had you at all worried about the length of The Evil Within’s campaign, don’t fret, because it’s going to be meaty. Alistair Hatch, Bethesda’s European PR manager, recently tweeted the extremely welcome news that the game’s campaign will take somewhere between 15-20 hours to complete, confirming you won’t have to indulge in any DLC to be satisfied with Mikami’s latest survival horror offering.
Saw some people asking about it – we expect The Evil Within campaign to last 15-20 hours depending on play style and difficulty mode.

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.
