Annapurna Interactive has been publishing some of the most acclaimed video games from indie developers for the past several years. This week, it had its own online showcase, where it revealed some of its upcoming games.
One of the announcements was that Stray, the adventure game where you play as a cat in a dystopian future, is finally coming to the Xbox Series S and X consoles on August 10.
That's not all that was revealed during the showcase. One of them is Blade Runner: 2033 Labyrinth. Yes, this is based on the film franchise and takes place in between the events of the original Blade Runner movie and the more recent Blade Runner: 2049.
The teaser trailer doesn't reveal much info, other than your player character may be a former "blade runner" for the LAPD who is being called back to service.
This will be the first game that will be both developed and published by Annapurna Interactive with its recently created in-house studio. It states:
Blade Runner 2033 takes place after the events of the Black Out and asks: what does a Blade Runner do when there are no Replicants left to hunt?
The game is due on the PC via Steam and unnamed consoles. There's no release date yet.
