The Expanse: Osiris Reborn now has a Q2 2027 release window, according to the latest announcement. It’s coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, and it’ll hit Game Pass on day one.
The game is set between Season 1 and Season 2 of The Expanse, and also falls within the timeline of the first two books. It’s already getting compared to Mass Effect and Gears of War, though early hands-on impressions suggest something a little different: think more old-school cover shooter, less a true BioWare-style, narrative-first successor.
One demo mission, built around the Phoebe incident, puts you and your twin, J, inside a Protogen station, where you’re trying to wipe evidence connected to a shipjacking. That means terminal work, shipping-logistics tasks, sneaking through restricted areas, and short bursts of combat, with a lot more focus on the mission itself than on the setting’s larger political and class conflicts.
Combat leans on cover shooting, stealth, zero-G movement, and squad commands. The Beetle in the Anthill trailer also showed disguise mechanics on Ganymede. So if you’re after a character-driven sci-fi RPG, this one still looks worth tracking. Even so, preview coverage hasn’t been all in one direction. Some writers came away impressed by the world detail, the sense of scale, the crew setup, and the RPG potential, especially next to rivals like Exodus. Others pointed to repetitive objectives, lighter writing, and animation and voice work that still look and sound pretty rough at this beta-stage point.
You’ll be able to play The Expanse: Osiris Reborn on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, or through Game Pass when it launches.
