Is Capcom Getting Ready to Reveal the ‘Resident Evil 2’ Remake?
In what perhaps might finally be something on that long-awaited Resident Evil 2 remake, Capcom have made a few conspicuous changes to their Twitter accounts.
For starters, about a week ago, Capcom updated their officialBiohazard Twitter account to include a black space in their header image next to Resident Evil VII, Resident Evil: Revelations and Revelations 2. At first appearance, it might just be Capcom wanting to not obscure the images with the circular Twitter profile picture.
However, over on the Western Resident Evil Twitter account, things get interesting. Capcom have updated their profile picture with a new logo. At first glance, it’s just the Resident Evil 7 logo (which was originally orange and white) that’s been recoloured red. However, if you go back to the Resident Evil 2 Remake announcement, you’ll see that the logo on the screen behind producer Yoshiaki Hirabyashi is the same logo being used as the Twitter profile picture. Some fans even went so far as to analyze the screen image with this profile picture.
Want to know something else? Resident Evil 2‘s 20th anniversary is on the 21st of January.
If this isn’t pointing to something we’ve been waiting for since 2015…
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.
