No, The Expanse hasn’t suddenly landed a newly announced 2027 TV prequel, even if some headlines are pushing the line that the series is “officially returning” with an epic six-part run. The mix-up seems to come from elsewhere. The franchise is still growing, just through games, comics, and books. That “six-part prequel” is The Expanse: A Telltale Series, which came out in 2023 as a Camina Drummer prequel. Its six parts are the five main episodes, plus a bonus episode. The thing that appears to have set off the confusion is a new Limited Run Games physical edition for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 5, priced at about £40 and listed with a shipping window from January 1 to March 31, 2027, according to the Limited Run Games store listing.
The real new 2027 release is The Expanse: Osiris Reborn from Owlcat Games. It’s a story-driven third-person action RPG scheduled for Q2 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, with day-one Xbox Game Pass support, according to Owlcat Games. The game is set between seasons 1 and 2 and follows a Pinkwater Security mercenary on Eros, again according to Owlcat Games. Reception around the franchise’s recent game projects hasn’t all looked the same, either. The Expanse: A Telltale Series was generally well received. Early beta reaction to The Expanse: Osiris Reborn has been more mixed.
If you follow The Expanse closely, this is the kind of correction you’ll want in the right place, especially with a post-season 6 comic omnibus due in December 2026, The Complete Visual History due in August 2027, and James S.A. Corey still continuing The Captive’s War.
So if you’re tracking what’s next, you can play The Expanse: A Telltale Series now, pre-order the physical edition through Limited Run Games, and keep an eye out for The Expanse: Osiris Reborn on PC and consoles in 2027.
