Blade Runner Owners Discuss AAA Game, With Details Still Undisclosed

A large-scale Blade Runner game is under discussion at franchise owner Alcon Entertainment, according to IGN’s November 13 report. Alcon co-CEOs Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson confirmed the talks during an interview about the upcoming television series Blade Runner 2099.

The executives also serve as executive producers on the series. Asked about the prospect of a major modern game adaptation, Kosove affirmed that discussions were happening and specifically emphasized AAA ambitions. IGN also reported that he stressed the importance of players being able to interact with the franchise’s world.

Talks leave the game’s shape unresolved

That establishes interest in a substantial gaming project, but leaves its practical details open. The report does not identify a developer, publisher, release window or target platforms. There is consequently no basis yet to describe it as a confirmed PC, PlayStation or Xbox release.

Nor does the interview establish a genre or gameplay format. IGN raised Cyberpunk 2077 as a comparison in its question, but that does not establish that Alcon’s proposed game would follow the same design.

A franchise with an uneven gaming history

Blade Runner’s previous adaptations include Westwood Studios’ 1997 point-and-click adventure. More recently, Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth was announced in 2023 under Annapurna Interactive. IGN describes that project’s future as uncertain, citing its removal from Steam and Annapurna’s website; those removals alone should not be treated as a formal cancellation announcement.

For players, the significant distinction is between an ambition and a game with concrete production details. Alcon’s comments reveal the former, while leaving the latter unanswered. The interview came ahead of Blade Runner 2099’s scheduled November 25 debut on Prime Video.
