Alcon Entertainment is in talks to make a AAA Blade Runner video game. Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson, the company’s co-CEOs and executive producers on Blade Runner 2099, confirmed the discussions to IGN. Alcon owns the franchise, so this isn’t a licensing rumour. It’s the rights holder saying a big-budget game is being discussed.
IGN’s News Editor asked the pair why Blade Runner hasn’t had a Cyberpunk 2077-style blockbuster and whether conversations had started. Kosove answered “Yes” and stressed the “AAA” part. He couldn’t share more, but he said the aim is to let players “interact” with the world of Blade Runner. No developer, publisher, platform, format or release window has been named, so for now this is an intent, not a project with a date.
The timing is deliberate. The conversation took place ahead of the series launch, and Prime Video’s own announcements confirm that all eight episodes of Blade Runner 2099 premiere on 25 November 2026, in more than 240 countries and territories. The show stars Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer, and it takes place 50 years after Blade Runner 2049. We’ve already covered the trailer pairing Schafer and Yeoh in a Replicant mystery and the trailer showing a world where Replicants rule.
A new game would have a thin recent record to build on. IGN counts four licensed titles. The first is a 1985 Commodore 64 game that was poorly received. The second is Westwood Studios’ well-regarded 1997 point-and-click adventure, which got a remake in 2022. A third, Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth, was announced in 2023 and developed by Annapurna Interactive. IGN says it has been delisted from Steam and removed from Annapurna’s website, so it’s now largely considered cancelled. The fourth, the 2017 VR tie-in Blade Runner 2049: Replicant Pursuit, was a short promotional experience rather than a full game.
That leaves the franchise without a major modern game since the late 1990s, even as cyberpunk became one of gaming’s most bankable settings. Whether Alcon’s talks turn into a funded production depends on a studio and publisher signing on, and neither exists publicly yet. Until then, the series is the only new Blade Runner release on the schedule.
Has a Blade Runner AAA game been officially announced?
No. Alcon’s co-CEOs confirmed to IGN that discussions are under way, but no studio, platform, format or release date has been revealed.
When does Blade Runner 2099 come out?
Prime Video releases all eight episodes on 25 November 2026. Amazon says the series is available in more than 240 countries and territories, though we haven’t seen a UAE-specific listing.
Is there a Blade Runner game I can play now?
Yes. The 1997 Westwood Studios adventure is still regarded as a classic, and IGN says a remake arrived in 2022.
