New Trailer For ‘The Sinking City’ Returns to The Weird
The Golden Joystick Awards are underway, and as a surpise, Frogwares have debuted a new trailer for their upcoming Cthulhu mythos adventure game The Sinking City. The trailer is actually a recut of an earlier trailer, but by no means is it any less impressive.
It’s frustrating that we have to wait until March 21, 2019 to get our hands on the game, but what can you do? The trailer isn’t widely available yet, but you can check it out here, courtesy of PC Gamer.
The Sinking City will launch for PC, 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.
