Blade Runner Sequel Gets Release Date
The as-yet-untitled Blade Runner sequel has been given a release date, albeit a far off one.
The movie appears in theaters January 12, 2018, with Ryan Gosling in the lead role. Harrison Ford will also appear in the film, reprising his Deckard role from the first movie. Denis Villeneuve – director of Sicario – will be behind the camera.
Not much is known about the film at this time, although the story is being co-written by Hampton Fancher, who served in the same capacity for the original film (which itself was based on a Philip K. Dick story). It will reportedly take place decades after the events of the first movie.

Our Take
I'm not one for sequels for sequel's sake, but I believe Ryan Gosling will have no problem nailing his part.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
