The Mass Effect vibes are overwhelming in the latest showcase for Owlcat's The Expanse game—and yes, it has a loyalty system

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn.

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn has given off palpable Mass Effect vibes since developer Owlcat Games announced it earlier this year. Creative director Alexander Mishulin recently tried to put some distance (though admittedly not much) between Owlcat's latest and BioWare's most popular RPG series. But having just watched Owlcat's recent environmental showcase for its upcoming sci-fi adventure, I'm back to thinking that Osiris Reborn is going to be Mass Effect as heck.

The showcase comprises ninety seconds' worth of environment flyovers showing off different areas of the game, interspersed with scenes of the player-character walking around in third person. There's also an in-fiction voiceover in which two mercenaries discuss where they'd like to dock after finishing whatever mission they're currently on.
