Blade Runner Game from Until Dawn Devs Reportedly Canceled

Supermassive Games has reportedly scrapped its unannounced Blade Runner game titled "Blade Runner: Time to Live." The game was expected to provide a character-driven, cinematic experience centered on the last Blade Runner in 2065, featuring stealth, combat, and exploration. It had a significant development budget of around $45 million and was planned for release on multiple platforms, including PC and next-gen consoles. However, issues with the rights holder, Alcon Entertainment, led to the cancellation of the project. Meanwhile, Annapurna Interactive is working on its own Blade Runner game, "Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth," which marks the franchise's return to gaming after 25 years. Supermassive is also managing various projects, including its next installment in the Dark Pictures series and Little Nightmares 3.

Released in 1982, the original Blade Runner film, directed by Ridley Scott, is a landmark in science fiction cinema, exploring themes of humanity and artificial intelligence. The franchise saw a sequel, "Blade Runner 2049," in 2017, expanding its already intricate lore. The upcoming Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth by Annapurna Interactive is set to introduce new narratives within this rich universe, capturing the intrigue that the original films instilled in audiences.
