Capcom Unveils July’s ‘Resident Evil Resistance’ Content Update
Capcom’s Resident Evil 3 multiplayer side dish, Resident Evil Resistance, is getting a fresh update on July 10th. The latest additions to the asymmetrical multiplayer survival horror don’t bring anything new in terms of maps (though a remixed map is coming next month), but there’s a fair bit of dress-up for the survivors, their weaponry, and the undead.
The official Resident Evil Twitter unveiled the latest step in the game’s ongoing road map, which includes nearly 50 new skins for characters and weapons, new gestures, new mastermind voice lines, and more that’s yet to be announced.
The multiplayer game was packaged with the Resident Evil 3 Remake earlier this year, and it appears to be keeping a steady fanbase despite a shaky launch. It’s certainly managed to do (and be) better than the last online Resi title, the eye-gougingly dull Umbrella Corps.
Resident Evil Resistance is out now as part of Resident Evil 3 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
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.
