Owlcat Games and Alcon Interactive Group Unveil New Environments for The Expanse: Osiris Reborn at gamescom
This week, publisher Owlcat Games - creators of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader - together with Alcon Interactive Group revealed a selection of new environments set to appear in the upcoming narrative-driven sci-fi action RPG The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. This title is set in the universe of the acclaimed TV series The Expanse, available on Blu-ray and streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
The video highlights a handful of key locations players will explore, from the industrial might of Pinkwater to the fragile ecosystems of Ganymede and the bustling corridors of Ceres Station.
“Every place in The Expanse tells a story,” says Alexander Mishulin, Creative Director at Owlcat Games. “When we recreate locations like Ganymede or Ceres, it’s not just about making them look authentic - it’s about capturing the struggles and hopes of the people who live there. That sense of survival and consequence is what we want players to feel as they move through the game.”
The Expanse is set in the future where humanity has colonized the solar system and the people of Earth, Mars and the Asteroid Belt have long been in opposition with one another. When the crew of the Rocinante uncovers an ancient alien technology, a vast conspiracy begins to emerge, one that will bring the solar system to the brink of war.
The Expanse: Osiris Reborn expands the universe of the TV series and novels, putting players in the boots of a Pinkwater Security mercenary caught in the chaos of Eros Station’s deadly lockdown. From there, they’ll need to gather a crew, command a powerful ship, and carve their own path across a fractured solar system.
Key features of The Expanse: Osiris Reborn:
Create Your Own Captain: Play as an Earther, Martian, or Belter and take command of the system’s most advanced ship. Shape your journey through identity, leadership, and the pressure of survival.
