‘The Evil Within’ Gets A Release Date, Coming August 26!
Bethesda wants to be your Valentine, and before you decide, you should know they’ve brought a gift. That gift is a release date for Shinji Mikami’s next-gen survival horror spectacular — and your most anticipated horror game of 2014 — The Evil Within. The announcement was made via a supremely creepy Vine video, which you can find after the break along with the impressive demo footage they showed off back in September.
I’m excited for this and I know a large majority of you are too. I think it’s time we synchronize our calendars. Only 193 days!

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.
