We at Space.com have been vocal about our love for The Expanse, the hit TV show based on the book series of the same name. Now, Owlcat Games (of WH40K: Rogue Trader fame) aims to mine its universe for gold with a new RPG that takes cues from modern classics: The Expanse: Osiris Reborn.
After a Telltale-developed narrative game, it became abundantly clear that both fans and newcomers wanted to see more of The Expanse in video game form. Osiris Reborn is quite different, but its focus on characters, their relationships, and flexible storytelling honors what's come before it. At the same time, Owlcat wants players to get their hands dirty with frantic third-person shooter combat, which should instantly make any sci-fi veteran think of the mighty Mass Effect series.
