What’s Your Most Anticipated Horror Game(s) of 2015?
A lot has happened since I last asked this question of you, and since we’re standing on the precipice of the New Year, now is as good a time as any to bring it up again. So tell me, what’s your most anticipated horror game(s) of 2015?
2014 hasn’t fully wrapped up and we already have a good idea of how exciting 2015 is going to be for horror fans. The list is far from finished and it’s already an impressive line-up. If you need a hand choosing your favorites, feel free to use one or both of our handy guides to the most promising indies and AAA releases coming in 2015 and beyond.
If sharing your picks sounds like too much work, I recommend you sneak a peak at my 5 most anticipated horror games of 2015. My mom told me it’s a solid list.
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.
