Your 2013 Video Game Release Schedule
My, a lot has changed in the last two months. Games have been delayed, new ones have made the list — including a few next-gen games — and I’ve gone ahead and added the major gaming conventions. After the break you’ll find an up-to-date release schedule for many of this game’s hottest releases, including a few that are still TBA but are expected to release this year.
UPDATE 1: Added Fuse release date of May 28.
UPDATE 2: Added Batman: Arkham Origins release date of Oct 25.
UPDATE 3: Added Lost Planet 3 release date of Aug 27.
Obviously, this schedule is going to change as release dates shuffle around and new games are added to the list. I’ll keep it updated as that happens. If you see a game or event that’s missing, let me know and I’ll update accordingly.

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.
