I remember playing this on PC when I was a kid. Unlike the LucasArts adventure games at the time I remember you could actually "fail" in this one so I wasn't as keen. Maybe coming back decades later may make a difference.
I had no idea this was happening. I'm actually really excited about this one! Soon I hope they'll release the X-Files point and click game, too!
Damn this brings back memories. I might have to pick this one up. Of course, GamePass would be even better.
Ffs why’s this not on gamepass? Been wanting to play this for ages. Any idea of price?
@Bleachedsmiles No word yet, although the physical version is $34.99 for PS4, PS5 & Nintendo Switch.
Happily pick this up, not waiting for it to go to gamepass, such a great game
Pretty sure this is the one I played on PC back in the day. Enjoyed it.
@Auglicious Please, please, please, please, please, PLEASE! All x-files games.
I played the original around the time of its release and really enjoyed it. I highly recommend it.
I will definitely check this out. I never played it back in the day but the Blade Runner movies are two of my favorites ever so any excuse to go back to that world I will take.
From my understanding, this was a huge undertaking, so I am excited to see it's finally getting released.
Holy crap, yes!!!!
@FraserG I'm hoping with it not having a price on Xbox that means they will not show the price cause it's a game pass day one game like they did with tunic
@pip_muzz
Yes, have good memories of this game. It was the 1st game I bought, after buying my 1st pc in the late 90's.
I'll be buying this for sure!
Not a massive Sci fi fan, but love the look, feel, atmosphere of the blade runner world in the films and game.
Still got this in big box format for PC. Don't even own a PC now but still have this
It would be cool if NightDive updated the Terminal Reality horror games like Nocturne and the Blair Witch titles, though I imagine the latter might be difficult due to licensing... But if they were able to renew the license for Blade Runner, maybe Blair Witch won't be such an issue.
@FraserG can’t really argue with this £7.99 price… all the better if you’ve had some free credit lately.
Funny how I never even knew this game existed in the past, I guess it was a part of that whole PC gaming era that was before my time. Like I was playing games back then, but on my PS1 and N64 lol.
@Bleachedsmiles $10 on the marketplace, this is a no-brainer for me!
I can’t find this in the UK store in the store app on Xbox. Like the recent turtles release it doesn’t come up when searched for. I only found that because it was on a recently released on game pass tile in the dashboard. I’ve tried closing and re-opening the store and restarting the console. Can anyone suggest anything to fix it?
I've been watching this one as I love the movies, I can't believe that it's only £7.99. Even if it's not really my type of game I have to take a punt at that price.
@Bruvas that’s a good tip. Thanks. I wonder why so many games can’t be found in the actual UK store app on Xbox. 😞
