While theAlienuniverse may seem like a far bleaker world than that ofBlade Runner – mostly due to the fact that there is always some percentage of a fortune that an alien beast will gestate inwardly of one ’s body and then gruesomely and painfully kill them upon its birth – Alienactually seems like a much brilliant world , at least for mechanical man , as this latestAlienstoryline is the unofficialBlade Runnercrossover fans have been wait decades to see .
The world ofBlade Runnerwas first introduced in the 1982 filmBlade Runnerdirected by Ridley Scott . The movie follows a man make Rick Deckard who is a Blade Runner , which is someone who gets pay to hunt down and ‘ retire’–ie execution – Replicants , or androids . As the celluloid progresses , Deckard is successful in killing nearly every undivided Replicant he ’s been hired to go after , with the last one death of ‘ rude ’ causes – meaning his three years of artificial life were up . In fact , that three year life span is the whole reason this movie has a plot in the first place . TheReplicants the Blade Runner is hired to killjust want to have their lives extended , feed them the option to live their lives to the fullest with enough time to in reality live on fulfilling lives . Sadly , they do n’t get what they were so desperate for and Deckard ensures that most of them do n’t even make it to their three - year milepost .

InAlien#1 by Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Julius Ohta , readers are introduced to a group ofSynthetics – together with known as Steel Team – who are be on a satellite uninhabitable for human , meaning that they are no longer slaves to humanity as they once were . This planet the Steel Team have made their new home base is an absolute nirvana . The only reason humans ca n’t live on there is that the atmosphere is toxic , but Synthetics do n’t have that particular problem . Basically , these Synthetics – who do n’t have a limit on their life span and are essentially immortal so long as their main processor are intact – are basically living the livesBlade Runner ’s Replicants wanted for themselves .
While fan were rob of seeing the happy end the Replicants deserved inBlade Runner , they are able-bodied to see it here withAlien ’s Synthetics . However , this take ofAlienmay just be the beginning of an android sanctuary , one that evenBlade Runner ’s Replicants can take advantage of . As sports fan of both dealership know , Ridley Scott is the film producer behind bothAlienandBlade Runner , and because of that and the similar futuristic configurations of both worlds , many fans have speculated thatAlienandBlade Runneractually survive in the same universe . In fact , this has go beyond mere speculation as there have been definitive association made between the two franchises . For instance , the maitre d' of the Nostromo worked for Tyrell Corporation before being employ by Weyland - Yutani , and Tyrell is responsible for create Replicants in theBlade Runneruniverse . This means that Replicants may subsist in the current persistence ofAlien , and establish on the most recentBlade Runnerfilm , they no longer have to worry about that three year lifespan .
InBlade Runner 2049 , the Tyrell Corporation is no more and the Wallace Corporation has occupy over as the one and only manufacturer of Replicants . With that change also come some significant upgrades to the androids , let in longsighted lifespans ( the extent of which is unreadable ) and hokey reproductive systems . So , ifReplicants do subsist inAlienand discover this humans that is totally run by Synthetics , then not only could they move there and free themselves from the shackles of man , but they could also form a settlement of Replicants due to their upgraded reproductive system . This would open up up a whole new kingdom within both establish universes and would effectively turnAlien ’s new era into theBlade Runnercrossover fans deserve .
