Update: Thu 23rd June, 11:45 BST: It’s finally here! Blade Runner: Enhanced Edition has launched digitally for the Nintendo Switch, ending the long wait since the game’s original planned launch back in 2020.
Now, depending on your region, the game might not quite be live on the eShop just yet, but keep an eye on it over the course of the next few hours and it’ll be ready for purchasing in due time.
Remember, if you’re looking to bag a physical copy of the game, then pre-orders go live on Limited Run Games’ website tomorrow. You can also opt for the Collector’s Edition or the Ultimate Edition if you’re feeling rather decadent.
