Annapurna announces Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth at showcase

Annapurna Interactive held a major showcase today where it revealed new games and updates on games-in-development under its label. The final reveal at the showcase is a new game from Annapurna itself: Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth. It’s a sequel to the original Blade Runner film and also takes place in a dystopian Los Angeles. The game doesn’t have a launch date yet, but the reveal trailer says that it’s coming to PC and consoles.

The trailer doesn’t reveal much about story, except that the protagonist is a former police officer who lives in Los Angeles after the Blackout event (which was mentioned in Blade Runner 2049). According to Annapurna, Labyrinth is the first new Blade Runner game in 25 years — presumably they’re referring to Virgin Interactive’s 1997 Blade Runner title, though a VR title called Blade Runner: Revelations launched in 2018. Chelsea Hash serves as the game’s director.
