The Expanse: Osiris Reborn expands the popular sci-fi universe
Owlcat Games revealed over the weekend that they are stepping away from Warhammer for a moment and stepping into another beloved universe. The studios next game is The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, which takes place in the popular sci-fi world of the tv series. Check out the announcement trailer for the game below.
The Expanse: Osiris Reborn delivers an original story of survival and loyalty, and significantly expands the world of The Expanse depicted in the TV show and novels. Players step into the boots of a Pinkwater Security mercenary stranded in the wrong place at the worst time. Trapped on Eros Station during a deadly lockdown, they will need to lead a crew, take command of the system’s most advanced ship, and navigate a fractured solar system teetering on the edge of chaos.
“We’ve been dreaming about building a sci-fi action RPG of this scale for a long time, and The Expanse is the perfect universe to bring that vision to life. It’s a world grounded in realism and complexity, perfect for telling a story the way we like it — mature and character-driven, where your choices truly matter. We are excited to bring this new experience to our players and look forward to sharing more soon, especially knowing how many questions our fans will have.”
“The original Mass Effect trilogy was absolutely an inspiration to the team. It was iconic for the Xbox 360 generation of gamers. Many of us first played it in our teenage years, and it left a lasting impression. We are building on that legacy and expanding what players anticipate from this experience. Our story is deeply rooted in hard science fiction — one of the core reasons The Expanse universe resonates so well with its fans. The combat reflects the standards of modern action gameplay. The narrative emphasizes political tension and moral complexity. And yes — there’s romance too”
For those worried about the studio now focusing on this work, worry not as the team that is working on this is different from those working on Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy.
As for where and when you can play the game, well it is coming to Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5 and PC, but there is no release time frame at this time.
