Vigilance 2099 is inspired by Bladerunner, Cyberpunk, and the never-released Prey 2. The small three-person studio is still in the early stages of development, but has already shown short scenes of gameplay and disclosed potential plans, including a console release.

Very impressive work for such a small team, but as @Bloodporne correctly pointed out, we ain't seeing this project any time soon (if ever).

 

I well and truly believe that the cyberpunk "aesthetic" is now WAAAAAAAY past its expiration date and needs a wholesale revision.   That video isn't merely "inspired" by Blade Runner - it's essentially a complete "copy n' paste".

There isn't even a game here at all, it looks like a mockup of two or three corridors running at an unstable 20FPS or something. The more games have become obsessed with marketing themselves based on their aesthetics, the less I become interested. Things like this look great, sure, but I always get the feeling that quality gameplay takes a backseat and we end up with some boring-ass, serviceable pastiche of way better games from ages ago just to support the "vision".

At this point, it's more of a tech demo/proof-of-concept than a project with actual systems in place.
