PlayStation 4 Coming November 15, Launch Line-Up Confirmed
Mark your calendars, people! Sony confirmed during their Gamescom press conference that the PlayStation 4 will launch on November 15 in North America and November 29 in Europe with an impressive launch line-up that includes 33 games — across both retail and digital — all of which will release by the end of the year.
In related news, Microsoft has 23 titles set to release over the same time frame for the Xbox One, which will also launch sometime in November. Read on to see all the games you can expect to see come to the PS4 this year.
Assassins Creed IV: Black Flag (Ubisoft)
Battlefield 4 (Electronic Arts)
Call of Duty: Ghosts (Activision)
Driveclub (Sony)
FIFA 14 (Electronic Arts)
Just Dance 2014 (Ubisoft)
Killzone: Shadow Fall (Sony)
Knack (Sony)

Madden 25 (Electronic Arts)
NBA 2K14 (2K)
NBA Live 14 (Electronic Arts)
Need for Speed: Rivals (Electronic Arts)

Watch Dogs (Ubisoft)
That’s a pretty solid line-up of games. Unfortunately, for the games we really care about — Outlast, Dying Light, The Evil Within, Daylight, etc. — we’ll have to wait until 2014.

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.
