Survive in an MMO Zombie Apocalype with ‘Dead Maze’

Published

on

Now while I haven’t been into MMOs for a while, the idea of doing one in the vein of surviving a zombie apocalypse is intriguing. Well, the folks at Atelier 801 seem to have a similar idea with their upcoming free-to-play MMO, Dead Maze, which launches February 13th on Steam.

Dead Maze emphasizes player cooperation during the aftermath of the zombie apocalypse in the Western United States. In order to survive, players will need to work together to explore what’s left of the world after the events of a zombie outbreak, monitor their health and food, scavenge for resources, and craft as many supplies as possible. You and your fellow players will face the typical zombie hordes, but also hunger, thirst, injuries and diseases.

In addition to the typical MMO things like choosing your character archetype, players will also be able to set up and build their own camp, including building and furnishing your own home. This also extends into things like planting seeds and creating vegetable gardens, or breeding cattle to gain access to extra food sources such as milk.

Upon launch, the game will feature an overarching storyline with 22 major quests, spread across multiple locations. More chapters to be added after the official launch. For more info on the game, head on over to its Steam page.

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.
