Another Trailer For ‘The Sinking City’ to Mess With Your Head
I can’t be the only one looking forward to Frogwares’ The Sinking City. Obviously not, but I’m just interested in seeing just what kind of weird trailer we get next as the game creeps closer to its March 19th release date. Case in point: This new cinematic trailer, Death May Die, ups the creep factor as the game’s protagonist, Charles W. Reed, is faced with some weird stuff (to put it lightly).
Is it just me, or has the quality gone up when compared to the previous trailers? In addition, seeing as it’s Gamescom, the team have put together a playthrough of the game to give us a sense of what to expect.
The Sinking City is also due out for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
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.
