It’s Official, Capcom Confirms ‘Resident Evil: Revelations’ Is Coming To Consoles
Hold onto your butts! Resident Evil: Revelations, arguably the best Resident Evil released last year, is coming to consoles. Mercifully, Capcom has decided to release it after the craziness that is Feb-March. Revelations will be coming to the PC, Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii U on May 21 in the states and May 24 in Europe. In an unexpected move, Capcom is making the game available digitally and on retail, only the Xbox 360 and Wii U versions will release sometime after it comes to the PS3 and PC on the 21st.
Now, before you get too excited, there is a small catch. This baby is going to run you $49.99. Yeah, that’s just $10 less than a full retail game for the port of a handheld title that’s nearly a year old now. My prediction of a $20 digital-only release was way off, it seems. Hopefully this means they’re going to do more than just port it over. If you care about them (I totally do), here’s a list of cheevos that were leaked earlier this month. Now that it’s official, is this something you’re interested in?

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.
