Blight Runners

A journey in a world with no oxygen.

Description

You are a Runner. Your mission: deliver the Pure Plant to Sanctuary.

The Blight has consumed an alternate 1970s America and driven humanity into the Catacombs underground. The surface has no oxygen.

Blight Runners combines open-world survival with roguelike and metroidvania elements. Scavenge the ruins, restore lost infrastructure and upgrade your Gear to push farther into hostile terrain. Explore the remains of the old world to uncover what happened, and alter the future.

Blight Runners was playable at Tokyo Game Show 2026.
