The first trailer for Blade Runner 2049 re-introduces Deckard, 30 years later

The very first trailer for Blade Runner 2049 is here, and the only thing it's missing to excite fans of the original is an origami unicorn. We're really spoiled for info on the upcoming sequel now, because Warner Bros. Pictures has also revealed its official synopsis.

"Thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos. K’s discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years."

Well, if Deckard is still alive 30 years later, that rules out the "he's actually a Replicant" theory. Unless he's a longer-lived model than Roy Batty and company. And there's no sign of his definitely-a-Replicant paramour Rachael; it's too bad if she didn't live. But then again, who does?

Former GamesRadar+ News Writer

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar+.
