Free League updated Blade Runner: The Roleplaying Game on May 26, 2026<\/strong>, with the Replicant Rebellion expansion, adding a new Replicant Underground campaign just as Amazon Prime Video<\/a> gets ready to roll out the Blade Runner 2099<\/a> limited series.<\/p>\n\n

\n\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Free League\u2019s RPG first came out in 2022<\/strong>. It\u2019s set in 2037 Los Angeles, in the space between Ridley Scott\u2019s 1982 film adaptation of Philip K. Dick\u2019s 1968 novel and Blade Runner 2049. The original game put two to five players in the LAPD Rep-Detect Unit as human or replicant Blade Runners, with a heavy focus on investigation, moral conflict, corporate conspiracies, and existential neo-noir. It also hit its Kickstarter<\/a> goal within minutes.<\/p>\n

Replicant Rebellion, released on May 26, 2026<\/strong>, flips the perspective. You\u2019re now playing as replicants and human sympathizers tied to the Replicant Underground, and the expansion adds Heat, cover, an Asset Pack, and Solo Mode. The timing also lines up neatly with Silka Luisa\u2019s eight-episode Prime Video limited series Blade Runner 2099, which premieres on November 25, 2026. That show is set in Los Angeles in 2099, 50 years after Blade Runner 2049, after a replicant uprising leaves humans as second-class citizens, and follows Cora (Hunter Schafer), a fugitive posing as a Blade Runner, as she meets Olwen (Michelle Yeoh), a replicant nearing the end of her lifespan.<\/p>\n\n

If you want Blade Runner\u2019s big themes, power, identity, personhood, control, from the other side of the badge<\/strong>, this is an easy one to pick up.<\/p>\n\n

You can get Replicant Rebellion now for Free League\u2019s Blade Runner RPG, and Blade Runner 2099<\/strong> starts streaming on Prime Video in November.<\/p>\n
