IGN has shared a new gameplay trailer for the story-driven sci-fi action RPG, The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. This trailer gives us an extended look at the Polly Mission, with a look at social dialogue, intense combat gameplay among the stars, and more.
In The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, you play as a Pinkwater Security soldier who’s just trying to enjoy a short break on the asteroid Eros. But everything quickly goes wrong. The place gets locked down, and you get stuck in the middle of a huge and dangerous mystery that affects the entire solar system. To survive, you’ll have to think fast, stay strong, and take control of the most powerful ship in space. Get ready for a thrilling adventure full of danger, action, and surprises.
Players will be able to create and customize their own captain. You can be from Earth, Mars, or the Belt. The choice will be yours. Then, you will lead a team of skilled crew members as you face growing dangers, tough choices, and a deadly enemy that won’t give up. The devs also claim that every choice you make will matter and can change the future.
According to the devs, your companions will be more than just mission assets. They will be people with their own scars and loyalties. Some chase redemption. Others will hide their truths. Over time, your relationships will flourish or deteriorate depending on the choices you make and how you choose to lead. The ship becomes your home, a place where trust is earned, not given.
The game has similar combat to the Mass Effect games. For instance, it uses a third-person perspective, and it will rely on cover and special powers. Two teammates will go with you during missions, while others help from far away by shutting down systems or distracting enemies. You can also give your team real-time commands.
Moreover, you will visit iconic locations like Ganymede, Ceres, Mars, and Luna. You will be able to walk through ruined habitats and political strongholds mired in unease and tension. You can talk to the locals. Uncover secrets. Or use your skills to influence what happens next. The system will look different from every planet and from every asteroid. Some will be falling apart. Others will just hide it better. You may even come across a familiar face or voice that reminds you of just how small the system really is.
Now, while all this sounds cool, this latest trailer is a bit rough. The voice acting and the lip-syncing are average at best. It’s quite obvious that the game still needs a lot of work. So, I hope the devs will do their best to polish it before it comes out.
Owlcat Games will release The Expanse: Osiris Reborn sometime in 2027.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
