Owlcat Games has revealed fresh gameplay for The Expanse Osiris Reborn, a space role playing game drawing strong comparisons to Mass Effect. The footage highlights narrative choices, squad combat, and zero gravity firefights inside a pirate asteroid base. The game launches in spring 2027 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series, with an exact release date still unconfirmed.
Owlcat Games showcased the new mission walkthrough during the Golden Joystick Awards 2026 presentation. The sequence begins with an optional conversation in a local bar where a stranger asks the player to rescue 2 teenagers who ran into trouble with space pirates. Players can accept the contract or walk away, demonstrating how player agency directly influences the journey of the captain.
Accepting the rescue mission sends the squad to an abandoned mine located inside an asteroid. The video shows third person gunplay, companion coordination, and combat encounters taking place in zero gravity environments against armed pirate defenders. Rescued characters also participate in fights, with 1 teenager named Polly directing a swarm of nanobots to attack enemies.
Former Dragon Age writer David Gaider assisted with the narrative development to ensure side quests offer meaningful story branches. Owlcat Games confirmed The Expanse Osiris Reborn is coming to PC, PS5, and Xbox Series platforms in spring 2027. The studio plans to share a specific release date later in production.
