Free League Publishing has announced that they are going to be bringing another Sci-Fi world to the tabletop next year. Blade Runner The Roleplaying Game is slated for release in 2022!
Blade Runner The Roleplaying Game // Free League Publishing
This new roleplaying game uses the acclaimed Year Zero engine that has previously been implemented into the likes of the ALIEN RPG and Tales From The Loop. It is going to be tailored once to suit the investigative cyberpunk world of Blade Runner.
You will take on the role of Blade Runners each with their own unique specialities, personalities and memories. Could you be a Replicant? That's where the world of Blade Runner comes to life as you investigate runaway Replicants, corporate espionage and more. All of this is tied up in moral conflicts, existential character drama and how humanity thrives or dies in this dystopian world.
The roleplaying game will be set in the year 2037 after the Wallace Corporation debuts the Nexus-9 Replicants on Earth. You can then choose to either play as a Human or a Replicant Blade Runner, whichever takes your fancy.
You'll be dropped into the overstretched world of the LAPD's Rep-Detect Unit where you'll have to decide which side of the coin you come down on. I really like that they are going hard on the moral choices and the idea of deep, investigative roleplaying with this game. It suits the setting incredibly well.
I am very eager to see what they do with this game come next year. I can imagine we're going to get another beautiful core book and Starter Set.

Soooo… Shadowrun – magic = Cyberpunk. Cyberpunk – X = Blade Runner? XD
Also why are there no sheep?
There are always sheep, you’re just not looking hard enough 😉
There should be sheep… in your dreams!
But I is no Android… am I?
cyberpunk predates shadowrun
I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe, attack ship’s on fire of the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the tannhauser gate. All these moments will be lost in time. Like tears in the rain….. Time to DIE.
Sounds really interesting I’ll be hopping for good thing’s.
Free league equals quality so I bet this will be good
This IP needs a miniature skirmish game or board game.
Ushers some Pigeons into a room, takes cat, closes door.
Deckard wasn’t a Replicant!
Do electric sheep dream of androids?
Hopefully it will be more exciting than the sequel movie.
Too bad she won’t live but then again who does…

I almost wet myself yesterday when I got the email from Free League about this. That’s not android behaviour… is it?
Such a shame they have decided to set the rpg in 2037 rather than 2019. Oh well.
I hope they expand the setting further like they did with the Aliens line. I would love to be able to see “Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion.” Or even “I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate.” A supplement digging further into the uses of replicants off-world would be fascinating.
