Despite running into some considerable set-backs after its initial announcement, developer Nightdive’s highly anticipated remaster of Westwood Studio’s classic Blade Runner point-and-click adventure is finally complete, and will be launching for Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and PC, tomorrow, 23rd June.
The Blade Runner video game, for those in need of a bit of context, released back in 1997, and, unlike the vast majority of movie adaptations, was an extraordinary piece of work, not only managing to perfectly capture the neon-streaked dystopian atmosphere of the movie in a story that ran parallel to its action, but doing so in ways both wildly ambitious and legitimately groundbreaking.
Although the game is build around a familiar narrative-driven point-and-click template, it immediately distinguishes itself from genre peers by sending players, in the role of Blade Runner Ray McCoy, on a heavily randomised adventure.
