News broke earlier this week thatSupermassive Games was working on a Blade Runner game.

Emphasis onwas, because the game has already been canceled after entering pre-production last September.

Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition

Blade Runner has the perfect mood, but its detective story is never especially captivating.

Supermassive is really prolific, so Im sure the team involved is moving on to another cool project.

With Supermassive’s history with narrative horror, it’s the perfect studio to tackle Severance.
