‘Dollhouse’ Now an Open Beta, Users Signed up For Closed Beta Given Early Access
Soedesco have decided to change things up for their upcoming horror game Dollhouse. While the release date remains May 24th, in lieu of having a Closed Beta, the team have decided to make it an Open Beta. Meaning, anyone can participate!
The Open Beta will take place from April 12-17, in which everyone can participate by simply going to the Steam page and downloading the game, no key required.
Soedesco will still be sending out Beta Keys to the people who have registered through the subscription form, but those keys will give exclusive early access (24 hours, to be exact) to the Beta. So, you know what to do.
Dollhouse will be released physically and digitally for PC via Steam and for PlayStation 4.
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.
