Alcon Entertainment has confirmed it is in discussions to produce a AAA video game based on the Blade Runner franchise, though no development studio has been attached and no project has been officially greenlit. The revelation came during a recent IGN interview with Andrew Kosove, Alcon co-CEO and executive producer of the upcoming Prime Video series Blade Runner 2099, when he was asked about the prospect of a game comparable to Cyberpunk 2077.
No Studio Attached
Kosove confirmed that talks have taken place and stated the ambition would be to create a AAA title that prioritizes player interaction with the world. As of November 2026, however, it remains unknown whether a known AAA studio is already working on the project or if negotiations are still in early stages. Alcon has not announced a developer, a target platform, or a release window.
A Troubled Gaming History
The franchise’s track record in interactive entertainment has been uneven. The most notable previous entry was a 1997 3D point-and-click adventure from Wildwood Studios, which garnered a cult following. A 2022 Enhanced Edition remaster by Nightdive Studios launched with significant graphical issues, an uncharacteristic stumble for a studio known for polished restorations. More recently, Annapurna Interactive announced Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth in 2023, but the project is believed to have been canceled after the bulk of its development team resigned and departed the company in 2024; the title is no longer listed on Steam or Annapurna’s website.
Transmedia Timing
The renewed gaming push coincides with the launch of Blade Runner 2099, which premieres November 25 on Prime Video. The eight-episode series is set 50 years after the events of Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049 and stars Michelle Yeoh and Hunter Schafer, with Silka Luisa serving as creator and showrunner and Ridley Scott as executive producer. The 1982 original, directed by Scott, is widely regarded as a foundational cyberpunk work that directly influenced the aesthetic and themes of CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077.
What Comes Next
Any newly greenlit AAA title would likely be years from release. For now, the franchise’s next milestone is the series debut on November 25.
