‘Devil May Cry 5’ Showing up at E3?!
As Samuel L. Jackson once said, hold onto your butts. And as Brian Glover said, this is Rumour Control. Here are the facts.
So, Devil May Cry 5 has been teased and teased some more for a while now. And with E3 2018 being right around the corner, it seems that we’ve got ourselves another rumour. An Austrian retailer has listed on their website pre-orders for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Devil May Cry 5. There’s even a release date of 2018 to go along with it.
This echoes the previous leaks that occurred with Rage 2 and other games that were listed as pre-orders on Walmart’s website that eventually had Bethesda getting in on the fun.
Of course, Capcom hasn’t said anything about this (yet). But you know that with all the news that we’ve been hearing for months, Sony’s PlayStation conference at E3 on June 11th (6PM PST/9PM EST) will have more than a few people glued to those streams hoping for a sign that Dante is back. Now where are those leaks for the Resident Evil 2 Remake?
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.
