There's a considerable overlap in the crew who made it, and the look and themes of Outland are very similar. The recent Alien roleplaying game mentions very similar activities (mining on Io, etc), but doesn't use any of the fictional names, which are presumably someone else's copyright.
I think Outland fits quite convincingly into the Alien world, but Blade Runner doesn't. To be honest, I don't want a Blade Runner franchise beyond the first film. Like the film of Starship Troopers, it doesn't need anything else. It's self-contained.
