DLC For Telltale’s ‘The Walking Dead’ Outed On Steam
Telltale games has been teasing something related to their episodic series based on The Walking Dead. I figured it’d be related to the mysterious project they’re working on to keep us busy until the second season kicks off this fall. If a recent update to The Walking Dead: The Game on Steam proves true, it looks like that’s exactly what they’re teasing.
A recent update on the game’s Steam page reads Walking Dead 400 Days DLC. Add to this the handful of Vine videos Telltale has been posting on their Twitter lately — you can watch them after the jump — and it looks like we may be getting another much needed dose of The Walking Dead very soon.

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.
