Blade Runner original
The world of Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner is set to expand once again, with a new sequel that promises to build on the franchise’s defining strengths. Fans can expect even more of the atmospheric world-building, cyberpunk aesthetics, and philosophical depth that have made Blade Runner one of the most unique and beloved sci-fi franchises of all time.
On September 17, 2025, Titan Comics launches a new era of Blade Runner with Eisner Award-nominated writer Nancy A. Collins and artist Jesús Hervás’ Blade Runner Black Lotus: Las Vegas. This limited series brings back deadly Replicant combat model Elle as she continues searching for answers about her mysterious past. First introduced in the 2021 hit animated series Blade Runner: Black Lotus and later in its 2022 comic series of the same name, Elle already has a rich backstory, giving fans plenty to revisit before Las Vegas arrives on shelves. Blade Runner Black Lotus: Las Vegas Brings Elle to a Haunted City of Replicants Ancient Role-Playing Models and Niander Wallace Jr.’s Kill Team Await in the Desert Wasteland Blade Runner Black Lotus: Las Vegas continues Elle’s search for answers as she goes to “the irradiated city of Las Vegas, a sand-choked ghost town of forgotten memories after the detonation of a dirty bomb.” There, she encounters “a community of role-playing Replicants: abandoned hospitality models from the old casinos now living as embodiments of ancient Egyptian and Roman royalty.” The series also marks the return of Niander Wallace Jr. as the main antagonist. Still bitter over his prior defeat, Wallace dispatches an elite kill team to claim Elle’s head. Their pursuit sets the stage for explosive confrontations that promise to deliver the action-packed, high-stakes storytelling fans have come to expect from the Blade Runner franchise. Where to Catch Up on Elle’s Story Before Blade Runner Black Lotus: Las Vegas From Anime to Comics, Here’s the Essential Binge Guide to the Black Lotus Killer’s Journey While Blade Runner Black Lotus: Las Vegas works as a standalone, fans wanting the best experience should explore Elle’s earlier appearances. Doing so provides a deeper context for her background while also serving as a fun binge before the new release. Following Elle’s story across multiple formats enriches the world-building and adds layers to her ongoing quest for identity and freedom. For Elle’s debut, fans should start with the 13-episode Adult Swim and Crunchyroll animated series Blade Runner: Black Lotus . This introduces Elle as an amnesiac replicant, unraveling mysteries about her identity and her violent past. It remains the cornerstone of her character’s journey and is essential for anyone hoping to fully understand her role in the expanding Blade Runner universe. Next comes the four-issue Blade Runner: Black Lotus comic miniseries, which builds directly on the anime by continuing Elle’s story as she questions whether she can escape her bloody legacy. Finally, readers can pick up Blade Runner: Black Lotus – Leaving L.A. , a gripping graphic novel that follows Elle fleeing Los Angeles in search of both freedom and long-awaited answers.
