BlakeIsHere: The Video Game (later re-released as BlakeIsHere - War of the Losers) is an action-adventure open-world video game developed by BlakeIsHere Development Studios and published by TBA. The game was initially released worldwide on August 12, 2023, for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with a next-day release for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. On September 1, 2023, a Nintendo Switch version would also be released. It was also released for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux on the same day. The game is based on the movie BlakeIsHere: The Movie.

Much like the movie it was based on, it received mixed reception but slightly leaned more towards the positive side.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Most of the characters haven't improved from the movie, and are still unlikeable.
 * 2) The obscene material from the original movie is still here.
 * 3) Most items need to be purchased with the in-game currency. It may not be bad at first, but the problem is that the currency can be hard to find at times, making completing the game 100% a chore. Thankfully, there are no microtransactions.

Nintendo Switch port

 * 1) The port was released in a broken and unfinished state since it was rushed for a September 1st release date, resulting in many of the problems seen below.
 * 2) Many bugs and glitches that were not in the original version of the game.
 * 3) The graphics are a downgrade to the original version, with lesser-quality textures.
 * 4) The cutscenes are missing both the voices of some of the characters and the ambience, meaning some cutscenes' sound is just the music.
 * 5) The character customizer is more limited than the other versions of the game, with some options not available in this version.
 * 6) The creator mode is more limited than the other versions of the game, with only a few options available.

Good Qualities

 * 1) A lot of problems from the movie have been fixed thankfully, making the game feel like a slight improvement from the movie depending on your view.
 * 2) Very good and advanced character customization that lets you pick your gender, race, species, nationality, religion, sexual preference, backstory, traits, political views, and even a coat of arms if you want.
 * 3) Impressive physics for the time, although it can be broken at times.
 * 4) Really good and impressive graphics for the time, although this is less of the case in the Nintendo Switch port.
 * 5) Fun missions that range from open-world missions to classic level-based missions.
 * 6) The online mode can be very enjoyable, especially when you have friends around.
 * 7) The creator mode (inspired by the one from GTA 5) is pretty great, and unlike GTA 5, you can create custom missions, complete with you being able to make cutscenes for it.
 * 8) Awesome cel-shaded graphics (inspired by the original 2003 version of XIII).
 * 9) There are no microtransactions, although most of the items still need to be purchased with in-game currency.

Trivia

 * According to Blake, the game was mainly inspired by the Grand Theft Auto series.
