Owlcat Games, the studio behind hits like Pathfinder: Kingmaker and the upcoming Warhammer 40K titles, stunned fans at the Future Game Show with a big announcement: The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. This marks the studio’s first venture into the third-person action RPG genre, and it’s set in the thrilling sci-fi universe created by Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck.
The game takes place in a tense, story-driven narrative where you play as a Pinkwater Security mercenary. A seemingly routine shore leave on the asteroid Eros quickly spirals into chaos as you’re trapped in a deadly lockdown. Caught up in a conspiracy that threatens the entire solar system, you’ll need to adapt quickly to survive. Your journey will see you command the most advanced ship in the solar system, making key decisions that shape the outcome of your mission.
In The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, you can fully customize your character, choosing to be an Earther, Martian, or Belter. As you lead your crew of specialists through dangerous missions, you’ll face political intrigue, growing threats, and a relentless enemy. The game promises that every decision you make will have lasting consequences. Your companions are far more than just mission support-they’re individuals with their own complex backgrounds and motives. As the story progresses, your relationships with them will evolve, with trust growing or eroding based on your choices and leadership style.
Combat is intense and tactical, focusing on cover-based gunplay and unique abilities. Two companions will join you on each mission, while others assist from afar by hacking systems or drawing fire. You’ll have the ability to issue real-time commands to respond to the ever-escalating dangers you encounter.
Fans of The Expanse universe will love the chance to explore iconic locations from both the books and TV series, such as Ganymede, Ceres, Mars, and Luna. From ruined habitats to political powerhouses, these places are filled with secrets waiting to be uncovered. Owlcat even hinted at the possibility of familiar faces or voices making an appearance, teasing interactions with beloved characters from the original story.
Though no release date has been set yet, The Expanse: Osiris Reborn will launch on PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X. Pre-orders are already available on the official website, so fans can get ready for what promises to be a thrilling ride through the solar system.
