In the news ...

• Next Games has been working to bring Blade Runner 2049 to smaller displays in the form of a mobile game for more than a year. About a month ago, the developers have started testing the game, but not many could install it since it wasn't available in all countries.

It appears that things are going nice for Blade Runner 2049, as the game is now available for almost everyone who owns an Android device and has access to Google Play Store. We're also getting more details about the game thanks to its Play Store description. More HERE.

• Charles William Breen, one of the set designers on Blade Runner, passed away on August 16, 2018.
