Supermassive Games reportedly cancels Blade Runner game

Supermassive Games, the studio known for Until Dawn, The Quarry and The Dark Pictures Anthology, has unfortunately had its next game cancelled. It turns out, this studio had been working on a Blade Runner game, which has now been cancelled before it could even be announced.

According to sources speaking with Insider Gaming, the game was set to be titled ‘Blade Runner: Time to Live', and was set to be a character-focused action-adventure game. The single-player campaign would have been around 12 hours long, according to pre-production documentation detailing the studio's plans for the game.

The game had only entered development in September 2024 and was quickly cancelled by the end of the year. If the project had gone ahead, it would have been targeting a 2027 launch for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Those who had worked on the project labelled it as ‘impressive' but unfortunately, an issue between Supermassive Games and Blade Runner rights holder, Alcon Entertainment, led to plans for the game being scrapped. The title would have apparently cost $45 million to make.

KitGuru Says: Game development rarely goes entirely to plan, so I have my doubts that this game would have been all wrapped up in just three years, but as the relationship between the studio and the IP owner went south almost instantly, we will never know for sure.
