It was in March 2020 when Nightdive Studios announced a remastered version of blade runner, a 1997 video game. The studio assured then that the title would be ready by the end of 2020. Of course, what was promised didn’t happen, and after several delays, we thought we’d never see it. Now we can finally tell you that Blade Runner: Extended Edition between usand you can enjoy it from now on.

Blade Runner: Extended Edition was released for PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. It sells for €9.99, and while it doesn’t offer a significant graphical improvement, the very fact that this game has been adapted to modern systems can already be considered a miracle.

In fact, the reason for all their delays is due to the source code and title materials. It happens that, as it happens with many old games, source code was lost in time. This prompted the developers of Nightdive Studios to reverse engineer the creation Blade Runner: Extended Edition.

We are in a really difficult middle ground where we cannot do what is usually done in remastering.

We had to invent new pipelines to extract the data and modify it to represent it at a slightly higher resolution or precision.
