And now GOG has made a deal with Alcon Interactive, the license owner, to release it digitally, DRM-free.

Finally, they said they were ready to go, we worked with the amazing people from ScummVM to get the game working, and here we are."īlade Runner has taken so long to appear because the source code was lost when Westwood Studios moved. They were happy to help obtain the interactive rights necessary to re-release the game, but even then it took a few more years to get everything in place. Luckily they were really cool and we had a great conversation. I literally went over to their office and asked to talk to someone about Blade Runner and GOG (I don’t recommend this).
