Supermassive Games, the developer behind games like Until Dawn, The Quarry, The Dark Pictures Anthology, and others, had reportedly cancelled the development of a Blade Runner game.
According to a source of Insider Gaming, this project, titled Blade Runner: Time to Live, is "rather impressive." The internal documents for the project show that it is designed to be a "character focused, cinematic, action adventure" game set in 2065, where the player's role is So-Lange, a vintage model Nexus-6 "inexplicably still alive well beyond your limited lifespan."
For the gameplay, it's said to feature four gameplay pillars, including stealth, combat, exploration and investigation, and dramatic character interaction. It also has a "compelling story blending the philosophical themes of Blade Runner with kinetic action-adventure gameplay," offering around 10 to 12 hours of single-player campaign.
"Journey from the teeming undercity of New Zurich 2065 to the eerie remnants of the forgotten world beyond. Under orders to retire Rev, the mysterious and ruthless leader of an underground replicant network, you are betrayed and left for dead in a brutally hostile environment," read the documents.
Its development started in September 2024 with a full development budget of around $45 million. Per the original plan, the pre-production period would end this March, with prototyping concluding in September this year. The planned release window is September 2027, and they would like to launch it on various platforms, including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, as well as the "Gen 10" Xbox and PlayStation systems, and PC. However, all of these plans were down the drain following the project's cancellation, which occurred late last year.
As for why it was cancelled, Alcon Entertainment, which owns the Blade Runner franchise, could be blamed, although details on what they have done weren't published.
