Nightdive Studios and Alcon Entertainment are working together to bring Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition to Xbox One, Playstation 4, Nintendo Swith and PC via Steam. Based on the classic 1997 video game from Westwood Studios, this modern remastering will deliver an unforgettable gaming experience based around the events of Ridley Scott’s 1982 feature film.
Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition has been given all the treatment that Nightdive has used on other classic games using their proprietary KEX game engine. This game engine has been used to bring a number of classics to today’s gamers, including System Shock: Enhanced Edition, Turok, Turok 2: Seeds of Evil, Blood, and Forsaken Remastered.
The Enhanced Edition will feature updated character models and animations, upscaled cutscenes as well as widescreen resolution support, keyboard and controller customisation, and best of all the classic look of the game is being preserved.
“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.”
