The Expanse: Osiris Reborn was one of the big surprises of the Summer Game Fest. In truth, It’s the big cover of the eventas it promises to be an incredible adventure.
Based on the famous science fiction series and books by James SA Corey, this title will combine action, exploration, shooting and RPG elements in an ambitious proposal.
So ambitious that Owlcat Games spared no expense. The creators of Pathfinder: Kingmaker wants to take care of even the smallest details, and that’s why They had the collaboration of NASA.
An ISS astronaut is an advisor in The Expanse: Osiris Reborn
In the game’s most recent trailer, Owlcat showed cWhat will the recreation of space be like in Osiris Reborn?. And it was thanks to the help of Leroy Chiao.
This is none other than a NASA astronaut, who has participated in several missions; what is more, He was commander of the International Space Station (ISS).
Chiao worked with the Cypriot studio to provide realism to the game’s space setting. Yes, it’s a title with aliens, interplanetary travel and fantastic elements; but with one foot in reality.
The Expanse novels are characterized by their pioneering content: although they feature very advanced technologies, They always have a very well defined real base; in fact, many believe they are a glimpse of the future.
For example, the series shows how the characters, being in zero gravity, wear special magnetic boots. These types of elements are what Osiris Reborn wants to capture.
With Chiao’s help, Owlcat defined how weapons will work outside the ship, the dangers of weightlessness, the silence of space exterior and other aspects that will elevate the adventure.
The team is already projecting all kinds of intense situations, from zero atmosphere shootingsto make a ship become home to a motley crew.
A group led by the captain we designed ourselvesleading an elite team involved in an interplanetary conspiracy.
In addition to fighting in third-person combat and enjoying a branching narrative, group morale will have to be managedand travel with him from the greenhouses of Ganymede to the urban labyrinths of Ceres.
For all those who participated in sponsoring the game, Owlcat Games will soon offer the first beta.
In the absence of an increasingly distant Mass Effect 5, The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is looking better and better. The game will come to PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PCon a date to be defined.
