Nightdive’s ‘Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition’ Arriving on PC and Consoles June 23
After previously running into delays with development, Nightdive Studios finally has a release date for their upcoming Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition. In fact, the game will be arriving later this week!
Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition will release June 23rd digitally across PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and the Nintendo Switch. For those physical media enthusiasts, Limited Run Games will have orders up for Switch and PS4 physical editions beginning this Friday.
Sporting upgraded visuals from its original 1997 release on PC by Westwood Studios, Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition is 3D adventure game based on Ridley Scott’s 1982 film. The game’s story runs parallel to the original film where players assume the role of Blade Runner Ray McCoy, who much like Rick Deckard, is tasked with hunting down a rogue group of Replicants. The original game features characters and actors from the film, including Sean Young as Rachael, as well as parts of the Blade Runner score by the late Vangelis.
Meanwhile, developer 110 Industries recently announced that they had acquired the Blade Runner license for a video game of their own. Details haven’t officially been revealed as of yet, but the game is expected for a 2025 release.
Physical media fanatics can rejoice when it comes to The Chinese Room and publisher Secret Mode’s upcoming narrative horror game Still Wakes the Deep. Alongside the digital version of the game that’s set to launch on June 18 on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series, PlayStation owners will also be able to snag the physical version of Still Wakes the Deep on the same day.
Described as a welcome update for console players “whose greatest fear is the death of physical media,” the Still Wakes the Deep physical edition will be available from online and retail stores in North America and Europe. No word on if the Xbox Series will be getting the same treatment.
Sadly, there doesn’t appear to be any additional goodies with the physical disc. But, given that this guarantees you’ll have a copy of Still Wakes the Deep that you can pop into your console and play without the need to download it again, that’s a small price to pay.
Still Wakes the Deep takes place in 1975, where disaster has struck the Beira D oil rig off the coast of Scotland. You are one of the oil rig workers on the Beira D rig, fighting for his life through a vicious storm, perilous surroundings, and the dark, freezing North Sea waters. All lines of communication have been severed. All exits are gone. And something has snuck on board, leaving you to not only restore function to the rig, but also deal with the unknowable horror.
And keep an eye out for the upcoming mini documentary on Still Wakes the Deep, which is scheduled to arrive around April 30th.
