The Blade Runner universe is getting a new board game. The developer team, Lucky Duck Games, has shared this news with fans at the biggest board game event, the Spiel Essen convention in Germany. This tabletop game will tell a different story from the upcoming Blade Runner 2099 TV series.
Here, players will work together to solve cases in a world where humans face persecution instead of replicants. The game will also use a digital app for narration and other features. Lucky Duck Games plans to launch a Kickstarter campaign in 2027, though the exact date is still unknown.
The board game is developed simultaneously with the TV series. Prime Video users can watch the series on November 25, 2026. The show will follow an undercover police story. While both projects share the same name and world, they will have separate plots. The game will focus on its own mystery, and there is no word regarding whether the characters will be from the same world or not.
Reportedly, in the game, players will work as a team to solve the mysteries and proceed further. Details such as the number of players, game length, and full rules have not been shared yet. More news is likely to arrive before the Kickstarter launch.
Notably, both Blade Runner 2099 adaptations are set in the same world, but they are different. They follow their own storylines and events. This gives each one room to explore ideas about identity, power, and unfair treatment in its own way.
Players will not need to watch the TV series to enjoy the board game. In the same way, viewers will not need to play the game to follow the show. Each will offer a separate way to explore the Blade Runner world.
