The biggest reveal for me this Summer Game Fest was The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. I binged multiple seasons of the TV show one Christmas break to catch up with my housemate, and after its cancellation at Amazon, I resigned myself to never getting to see more of that brilliant sci-fi universe. But after that surprise trailer and its obvious Mass Effect feel I'm filled with excitement, especially because the creative director says Commander Shepard's adventures and other RPGs like Baldur's Gate 3 and Persona were inspirations.
