Brief New ‘GTFO’ Clip Reveals “Shadow” Enemy
GTFO devs 10 Chambers Collective has revealed a new enemy type in their latest gameplay trailer that should up the already high tension presented in the game. The Shadow enemy can only be seen when illuminated by light sources such as a flashlight. In fact, this makes it almost impossible to see from static screenshots. The skittering around is definitely not something you expect (or want) when you’re trying to barricade yourself against other monsters.
Also of note is that GTFO will be available and playable at Gamescom in Germany next month, where they’ll be showing off the game at the Unity booth. The game is still slated for release later this year, but there’s no definite release date yet.
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.
