‘Dead By Daylight’ PC Owners Receive A Lullaby
Before Michael Myers slashes his way into the console versions of Behaviour Interactive’s Dead By Daylight next month, PC gamers have some free stuff to balance things out.
The latest DLC chapter for the game, “A Lullaby for the Dark”, is now available for free on Steam, and features a new bunny-masked killer called The Huntress, as well as a new survivor named David King. You can read their respective bios on the official website. No word yet on when this DLC chapter will be available on the console versions of the game, but hey, at least console owners can finally play as The Shape and Laurie Strode!

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.
