It’s Best If You Just Sit Back And Let This Bombastic CG Trailer For ‘DmC: Devil May Cry’ Wash Over You
As far as trailers go, this is a busy one. Lots of music, action, demons, and Dante just ruining everyone’s day, including a poor little girl who only wanted to drink her tentacle cola. It’s a gorgeous CG trailer, and while I’m usually not a fan of these because they never show us any actual footage from the game they’re promoting, we’ve already seen plenty of gameplay from DmC, which you can find here, here, and here. It’s a fun watch, check it out after the jump.

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.
