‘Prey’ DLC Reveal Being Teased for E3?
E3 is coming up soon, and with Bethesda already sending out invites to its E3 showcase, they’ve also been up to something on Twitter. It seems that they’re teasing something related to last year’s reimagining of Prey in the form of new DLC. The moon (specifically, a lunar colony) was mentioned repeatedly throughout the game, so it’s quite possible that the colony will be the basis for the DLC.

In addition, a new Twitter account has popped up for KasmaCorp, the rival corporation in the game to Transtar, which employs the game’s protagonist, Morgan Yu. The single tweet by this account shows a rough sketch showing how to dissect and harvest the psi power from a Mimic, which is Prey’s shape-altering goo.
Begin the speculation.

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.
