Finland’s Next Games Oyj won a deal to make the mobile game for the new sequel to Ridley Scott’s “Blade Runner,” a boon for the developer seeking to become the latest gaming success to emerge from the Nordic country.
The small publisher, known for its game based on the AMC TV-series “The Walking Dead,” said Wednesday that it struck an agreement with Alcon Entertainment, which is producing the movie. “Blade Runner 2049,” the big-budget follow-up to Scott’s 1982 sci-fi classic, will star Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford and is set to open in October.
