The Classic Edition Of Blade Runner Enhanced Edition is now Available On Steam!

A visual restoration of Blade Runner, perhaps Westwood’s best game, was published last week on Steam and GOG, and excitement for it was high—at least in the PCG offices. Sadly, the truth is that it isn’t really a remaster at all.

Nightdive had been working on this for some time, but one significant obstacle was that no one could locate the original source code.

The original version wasn’t at all accessible on Steam, but Nightdive has now released it in response to the Enhanced Edition’s reception which is presently resting on.

This “Classic” version is superior since the ScummVM crew added the recovered content, which was not present in the Enhanced Edition.
