Following the trailer, game director Chelsea Hash spoke with IGN to shed a little more light on the game.
Set in 2033, Labyrinth is a narrative-heavy exploration of what it means to be a Blade Runner post-Blackout. The Blackout was an event triggered by two replicant androids, which shut down every electronic device in the city of Los Angeles and deleted all data held in storage.
Tyrell Corporation had no choice but to shutter and so all remaining replicants were the last to ever be made. However, the voice in the trailer says that they’re about to be brought back to their life of hunting down rogue robots in this upcoming chapter of the sci-fi franchise.
