Nightdive Studios and Alcon Entertainment Bringing 1997's Blade Runner to Modern Gamers

Today, Nightdive Studios and Alon Entertainment confirmed they're partnered to bring back a classic title. The 1997 PC game Blade Runner is making its way to modern gamers.

The title will release on Xbox One, PS4, Switch, and PC as Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition. It'll include "character models and animations, upscaled cutscenes using machine learning algorithms, widescreen resolution support, keyboard and controller customization, and much more."

“Blade Runner is still a jaw-dropping achievement on every level, so while we’re using KEX to upgrade the graphics and respectfully elevate the gaming experience in a way you’ve never seen before, we’re still preserving Westwood’s vision and gameplay in all its glory,” said Nightdive CEO Stephen Kick. “While you can enjoy the benefits of playing the game on modern hardware, the game should look and feel not as it was, but as glorious as you remember it being.”

Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition is set for a 2020 release.
