Alcon Eyes Triple-A Blade Runner Video Game

Alcon Entertainment, the owner of the Blade Runner franchise, is expressing renewed interest in bringing a triple-A video game to life. Franchise producers revealed that the company is looking to develop a high-caliber game, potentially on par with titles like Cyberpunk 2077. This move into gaming comes as the franchise continues to expand its presence, with the new series Blade Runner 2099 slated for release on Prime Video.

This pursuit of a major video game title marks a significant development, especially considering past attempts. Two potential Blade Runner games have reportedly faced cancellation. One, an adventure game titled Labyrinth developed by Annapurna Interactive, has its status in question following recent team resignations. Another, an action-adventure game called Time to Live from Supermassive Games, was allegedly canceled by Alcon for undisclosed reasons before development could progress significantly. With these prior setbacks, the hope is that Alcon's current ambition for a triple-A title will finally see the light of day.
