‘Resident Evil: Revelations 2’ Will Be Playable at Sony’s TGS Booth
I usually don’t get that excited for Tokyo Game Show, especially for what it’s become in recent years. This year’s event is threatening to change that, as it’s shaping up to be something special.
Following Konami’s recent confirmation that Silent Hills will be at the event in some capacity, Sony has revealed their TGS line-up, all of which will be playable on the show floor. Some of the standouts include Resident Evil: Revelations 2, Bloodborne, The Evil Within and The Order: 1886. I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on any of those games, but I’m super bummed I won’t be able to get my anxious, sweaty hands on Revelations 2.
TGS runs from September 18-21. You can find Sony’s full line-up below.

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.
