Blade Runner 2099 Executive Producers Confirm Franchise Owners Are In Talks for “AAA” Video Game Adaptation
Alcon Entertainment is in talks to develop a AAA video game set in the Blade Runner universe, according to co-CEOs Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson. The project could give players a chance to interact with the franchise’s world, though no further details have been confirmed.
Blade Runner has had four licensed games, but its record is mixed: the well-regarded 1997 point-and-click adventure remains the franchise’s most acclaimed game, while a project announced in 2023 is now widely considered cancelled. A brief VR tie-in accompanied Blade Runner 2049 in 2017; the proposed new game would follow nearly 30 years after the 1997 title. Blade Runner 2099 is due on Prime Video on 25 November.
In short
- Alcon confirms talks about a AAA Blade Runner game.
- The project would focus on letting players interact with its world.
- The franchise’s last acclaimed game arrived in 1997.
