Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth was revealed as part of the June 2023 Annapurna Interactive Showcase, giving players a look at the game’s mysterious new protagonist as he carries out an investigation. The story also appears to be set in a new period of the Blade Runner timeline as it returns to the franchise’s gritty sci-fi world.
The Blade Runner franchise has had some VR tie-in titles, such as 2017’s Blade Runner 2049: Memory Lab for the Oculus, and 2018’s Blade Runner: Revelations for the Google Daydream, and tabletop tie-ins such as Blade Runner: The Roleplaying Game. However, Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth will bring the highly acclaimed sci-fi franchise back to PC and console gaming for the first time in 25 years, with the last mainline release being the 1997 Blade Runner game on PC, which received praise from critics and players upon its release and has since been ported to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch with a 2022 Enhanced Edition.
An official release date for Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth has yet to be announced. Annapurna Interactive has promised more details surrounding the game to be “revealed in the coming months” on the official Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth Steam page.
The reveal trailer for Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth, from Annapurna Interactive’s YouTube channel, stated that the title will be coming to “PC and consoles.” The PC version of the game can currently be wishlisted on Steam. It is unclear which consoles Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth will be coming to, however.
There has been a recent push within the industry to create more current-gen exclusives, leaving behind the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One now that the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles are more readily available; however, many of Annapurna Interactive’s upcoming slate such as Bounty Star or Flock are expected to release across both generations, so it’s possible that Blade Runner 2033: Labyrinth may receive a wider launch to make it available to as many fans of the IP as possible.
