Rumor: ‘Until Dawn’ Goes On-Rails With ‘Rush of Blood’

Published

Don’t stow away your Uggs just yet. If this rumor is true, Supermassive Games may be returning us to the chilling, and chilly, world of Until Dawn with DLC that will take advantage of the soon-to-be-released PlayStation VR.

The fine folks at Destructoid believe this to be true, citing two separate sources that claim to have first-hand experience with content that sounds entirely unlike everything we’ve seen up to this point.

Also, minor story spoilers incoming for those of you who haven’t finished Until Dawn proper.

“You get transported around inside a mine cart; it’s very literally an on-rails experience,’ explains one source in an email describing DLC called Rush of Blood. “There are a few scattered jumpscares, as you’d expect, but I played the same 20 minute section twice (once with DS4, once with dual Move controllers), so I’m hoping the full DLC is a lot more padded out. I didn’t see which character I was playing as, I’m not sure if it’s specified, but no names were mentioned at all.”>

“It starts off shooting targets in the snow, then moves toward a house and as you get deeper into the house, enemies start appearing (I believe they were Wendigos). The frequently reused jumpscare is the ‘ghost’ from inside the house in Until Dawn, who you end up fighting for the final area I played. Upon killing the ghost, the game would crash every time.”

Supermassive Games certainly seems interested in exploring the world of Until Dawn, so it’s not surprising that they would expand on it with DLC. What would be surprising is if that content came in the form of first-person on-rails DLC.

It’s not at all a bad surprise, more of a startle. Like when a moth dive-bombs me when I’m outside and I immediately assume I’m being attacked by a rhino beetle covered in wasps, or something.

Does that make sense?

Legendary Grimdark ‘Warhammer 40,000’ Artist John Blanche Has Passed Away at 78

Published

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.
