‘Resident Evil’ 4-6 Coming to PS4, Xbox One
Capcom is finally bringing the last three entries in the main Resident Evil to PS4 and Xbox One, starting with the most polarizing of the bunch — Resident Evil 6 — on March 29.
For $19.99 (€19.99 / £15.99), you’ll get the base game and all of the DLC that came to consoles. This includes the Predator, Onslaught and and Survivors multiplayer modes, Ada’s “Agent co-op campaign, No Hope difficulty mode and all of the costumes and bonus content that was previously only available through Resident Evil.net.
The Left 4 Dead 2 crossover content that released on Steam in 2013 won’t be joining it.
Resident Evil 5 is expected to release this summer, followed by Resident Evil 4 in the fall, for $19.99 each. The two will form a Jill Sandwich, if you will, around the competitive multiplayer spin-off Umbrella Corps that’s coming in May.
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.
