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.
Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
