Titan describes the story for Blade Runner: Black Lotus - Las Vegas :
Her quest takes her to the irradiated city of Las Vegas (briefly glimpsed in BLADE RUNNER 2049), now a ghost-town following the detonation of a dirty bomb.
She discovers a group of individuals who were previously employed in the casinos as human representations of ancient Egyptians and Romans. At the same time, Niander Wallace, the descendant of Eldon Tyrell's Replicant technology, sends a team of skilled mercenaries to capture her by any means necessary.
The corporation released a graphic depicting the chronology of events for the upcoming comic series, which is situated in the year 2032 and is connected to other storylines.
In June 2022, the mini-series "Blade Runner: Black Lotus" was released in Los Angeles. Written by Denis Collins, it consists of four issues. Enid Balam illustrated the work. Four different cover art designs were created for the first issue by Junggeun Yoon, Creees Lee, Concept Art, and Mico Suayan.
In collaboration with Alcon Entertainment, Blade Runner: Black Lotus, which consists of thirteen episodes, was created by Crunchyroll and Adult Swim as an anime television series that is based on Blade Runner 2049, which is the sequel to the original 1982 Blade Runner film.
The anime was introduced in November 2021 on Toonami, which is an adult-oriented programming block of Adult Swim. Additionally, it was launched simultaneously in Canada by Adult Swim. While Adult Swim had global distribution rights for an English-dubbed version of the show outside of Asia, they stopped streaming it in September 2022. Crunchyroll is currently streaming it worldwide with Japanese audio and English subtitles. Furthermore, it is accessible through digital platforms.
