Owlcat Games development of The Expanse: Osiris Reborn

Overview

Developer Owlcat Games has shared details regarding its upcoming sci-fi action RPG, ‘The Expanse: Osiris Reborn’. Initial information focused on the game’s choice-and-consequence mechanics, noting that player decisions can affect faction relationships, crew companion development, and the fate of entire space stations. Players can select origins such as Martian, Earther, or Belter, which provide unique mission access and influence how the world reacts to the protagonist. Following these gameplay revelations, a Steam store page was released, confirming a scheduled release for the second quarter of 2027. The game is set in the 24th century and will feature third-person combat across various locations, including Eros, Ganymede, Ceres, Mars, and the Moon. During gamescom, Game Design Director Leonid Rastorguev noted that beta feedback has been “largely positive,” though the studio is currently addressing community critiques regarding character movement and facial animations. The developers also confirmed they have recast the roles of the main character and his brother. To enhance immersion, the game aims to integrate Belter culture deeply through the use of Belter Creole and specific cultural gestures. Further details on player agency highlight that companion development is a core feature; for instance, players can mentor the character Polly, determining whether she pursues paths like hacking, engineering, or medicine, which subsequently alters her appearance and unlocks unique non-combat skill lines. At Gamescom, Owlcat provided additional gameplay specifics, clarifying that the title is a “focused story-driven RPG” rather than a completely open-world sandbox. The combat is described as third-person and cover-based, allowing players to issue real-time commands to crew members to distract enemies or disable systems. Recent demonstrations showcased an undercover mission on Ganymede involving the Captain and a character named J.
