The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Dev Diary Discusses Its Take on Space

Owlcat Games released a developer diary video for upcoming sci-fi action RPG The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. The three-minute video features former astronaut and ISS Commander Leroy Chiao — who collaborated on the game — as well as Game Design Producer Yuliya Chernenko and Studio Audio Director Sergey Eybog, who discuss some of the scientific elements of its space setting and how the team has looked to balance them with gameplay.

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is billed as expanding upon the universe depicted in The Expanse TV and novel series, which is set in a future where humanity has colonised the Solar System. Players are put in the role of a customised Pinkwater Security mercenary stranded on Eros Station during a lockdown. They will need to lead a crew and take command of the most advanced ship in the Solar System. Players are joined by two squadmates in battle; squadmates have their own pasts and motives, with their loyalty impacted by player decisions. The game will include some familiar faces from the TV show, with certain actors reprising their roles. The game is currently in development for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
