“It is important for us to fully capture the Blade Runner experience and themes from all perspectives — even the city,” game director Tomas Härenstam said in a press release announcing the game. “One of the most fascinating characterizations in Blade Runner is Los Angeles itself, and we want LA to act and react differently based upon your character, specialties, and agenda. Yet regardless of what you are, you’re always a Blade Runner first and foremost — the ultimate outsider who must walk alone in a complex city and system where everyone could be a threat and no choice is without its compromises or consequences.”

Free League Publishing has established themselves as a premiere RPG publisher in recent years, with a growing line of smash hits that includes both original properties and licensed works. Free League Publishing is also developing a second edition of The One Ring, an RPG set in the world of JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. Other RPGs published by Free League Publishing include the doom metal RPG Mörk Borg and the sci-fi themed RPG Coriolis.

Free League Publishing plans to release a Core Rules book for the Blade Runner RPG in 2022, with a “line of expansions” to follow.
