A few weeks back we shared a story on why BLADE RUNNER 2049 director Denis Villeneuve thought the film might not have been the success it should have been at the box-office. In that article, I mentioned that the film will probably be a bigger hit on Blu-ray and let's hope I'm right.
Speaking of the BLADE RUNNER sequel and Blu-ray, today we have news that the film will be hitting 4K Ultra HD, 3D Blu-ray, Blu-ray, and DVD on January 16th. Below you can find the cover art and a list of special features.

BLADE RUNNER 2049 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.
BLADE RUNNER 2049 is directed by Denis Villeneuve from a script by Hampton Fancher (who wrote the original) and Michael Green. The script is based off a story by Hampton Fancher, which is in turn based on the original film's source material "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" by Phillip K. Dick.
