Blade Runner 2099 Executive Producers Confirm Franchise Owners Are in Talks for AAA Video Game Adaptation

Andrew Kosove and Broderick Johnson, executive producers for Blade Runner 2099 and co-CEOs of Alcon Entertainment, the owner of the Blade Runner franchise, have confirmed that they are in discussions to create a AAA video game based on the iconic cyberpunk IP. I got the chance to chat with Kosove and Johnson ahead of Blade Runner 2099’s release on Prime Video later this month. During our conversation, I brought up the wildly successful Cyberpunk 2077, wondering why Blade Runner hasn’t had a similar AAA game made after it and if any conversations have been had about finally giving this IP a major modern video game release. “Yes,” Kosove confirmed, and emphasized the phrase “AAA,” making it clear that Alcon has a grand vision for Blade Runner’s future in the gaming space. Of course, he couldn’t tell me much more, but impressed upon the importance of allowing players to “interact” with the world of Blade Runner in this hypothetical game.
