Blade Runner 2099 Brings the (Not-Too-Distant) Future to New York Comic Con

Blade Runner 2099 Brings the (Not-Too-Distant) Future to New York Comic Con

Things start in a highly-restricted area of 2099’s Los Angeles Police Department where attendees are subjected to a “bone scanner” by a vigilant LAPD future cop.

Then, on the second floor, all undercover humans will take in the Replicant Birthing Center and Memory Lab, where newly born replicants receive implanted memories. Guests are also welcome to undergo a memory scan of their own to receive a bespoke fabricated memory implant. That certainly beats the hell out of having to memorize Voight-Kampff answers.

Finally, after successfully passing as a replicant, visitors can kick back at and relax at La Paloma, an in-world nightclub-inspired space. We don’t know if androids dream of electric sheep or not, but they sure do love a futuristic nightclub.

The Blade Runner 2099 Immersive Fan Experience is open to the 18+ general public and free to attend. Den of Geek readers can reserve a 30-minute time slot to take in the event here. A limited number of tickets are available for each time slot.

In addition to the activation, Blade Runner 2099 will be hosting a panel Saturday, October 10 at 6:45 p.m. ET at the Javitz Center’s Empire Stage. Stars Michelle Yeoh, Hunter Schafer, Dimitri Abold, Lewis Gribben, and Matthew Needham are slated to attend alongside producers Silka Luisa, Andrew Kosove, and Broderick Johnson.

Blade Runner 2099 premieres all eight episodes on Wednesday, November 25 on Prime Video.
