Nightdive Studios and Alcon Entertainment have announced Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC via Steam.
The remastered version of the 1997 point-and-click adventure game will launch in 2020. The game is based on Ridley Scott's 1982 cyberpunk noir film, Blade Runner, which "follows detective Ray McCoy as he hunts down renegade replicants, or androids that look remarkably human, in a futuristic version of 2019 Los Angeles. The game's narrative runs tangentially with the events of the film."
The original game was developed by Westwood studios, who is no longer in business. They were best known for the Command & Conquer real-time strategy series. Nightdive Studios is known for remastering games such as System Shock and Turok: Dinosaur Hunter.

Fantastic game...but I thought they've lost all the code for it. Great to see they've found the way to do this remaster.
Very nice. I lived through the golden age of this genre and was a huge fan of it, but somehow missed this game. Now I have a chance to rectify that.
Not a fan. 'Enhanced edition' pretty much means 'it still looks poor but we added some gimmicks so we can double the price'. I don't have a problem with enhanced editions otherwise, but typically it means removing the original from sale as well, leaving only the significantly more expensive but almost as poor-looking 'enhanced' edition available.
But not GOG despite it being possibly the only place where you can get the original...?
Big cyberpunk and Blade Runner fan. Was curious about this game; now I'll have a better opportunity to play it.
