The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Closed Beta Now Available

Owlcat Games has released its closed beta for sci-fi action RPG The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. The closed beta is available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S for those who have purchased the $289 Collector’s Edition or $79.99 Miller’s Pack from the game’s official website. It will run until the game’s launch in spring 2027.

The closed beta allows players to choose between a female character from the Belt or a male character from Earth, as well as whether they specialise in officer or hacker abilities. The full game will also let players select a Martian background as well as various other specialisations. Players are accompanied by their sibling J and veteran mechanic Zafar, as they explore a remote space station owned by their employer, Pinkwater Security. A three-minute video sees Game Design Director Leonid Rastorguev and Lead Game Designer Grigory Ponomarev introduce the contents of the closed beta.

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 who 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.
