Owlcat Games' upcoming sci-fi RPG The Expanse: Osiris Reborn might take plenty of inspiration from Mass Effect, but its game design director says "we do not think of ourselves as a successor" to BioWare's series.
The Expanse devs have previously been open about Mass Effect's impact on their RPG, with creative director Alexander Mishulin calling it a "great inspiration," and game design director Leonid Rastorguev specifically pointing to Mass Effect 2's suicide mission as an influence. Speaking during a presentation attended by GamesRadar+, the devs are asked if they welcome those Mass Effect comparisons or if it's one that they'd rather fans didn't make, and while Rastorguev reiterates that, yes, the BioWare series has had an impact, this game is ultimately still an Owlcat creation.
