Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader and Pathfinder: Kingmaker developers Owlcat Games are venturing into the realm of “hard sci-fi” with The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, a new RPG based on the James S. A. Corey novels and Syfy TV adaptations. It’s an original story that casts you as a Pinkwater Security mercenary, who starts out trapped on Eros Station – an asteroid base that undergoes cataclysmic upheaval in the TV show – and later takes charge of an advanced starship, so as to quest around the solar system. The game is inspired by BioWare’s Mass Effect series, with “tactical” third-person combat featuring two ally characters and cover mechanics. Also, crew romances. Here’s a trailer.
