Owlcat Games and Alcon Interactive released a new gameplay trailer for The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, announcing a spring 2027 launch [2].
The reveal provides the first significant look at the sci-fi action RPG's mechanics and setting. As a licensed adaptation of the popular franchise, the game's ability to translate complex political tensions and space combat into a playable experience is a key point of interest for fans.
The new trailer, titled "Beetle in the Anthill," showcases an in-game infiltration mission [1]. This specific sequence takes place at a base on Ganymede [4]. The footage highlights the game's approach to stealth and combat within the established universe of the series.
Developers said that a closed beta is scheduled for late April [1]. This testing phase will allow a limited number of players to experience the game before the full commercial release. The developers have not yet detailed the specific requirements for beta entry.
The game is confirmed for release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC [3]. PC players will be able to access the title through Steam, the Epic Games Store, and GoG [3]. Additionally, the title is confirmed for Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Play Anywhere [3].
Owlcat Games, known for its deep RPG systems, is handling the development while Alcon Interactive serves as the publisher [1]. The project aims to expand the lore of the series through a new narrative centered on the "Osiris Reborn" storyline.
“A closed beta is scheduled for late April.”
The announcement of a 2027 release date indicates a long development cycle, suggesting Owlcat Games is prioritizing the complexity of the RPG systems over a rapid turnaround. By securing a spot on Xbox Game Pass, the publishers are positioning the game for a wide reach upon launch, aiming to attract both hardcore RPG enthusiasts and casual fans of the original series.
