Ni vet den klassiska taglingen från 1979 års Alien; "In space, no one can hear you scream". Den kan appliceras på nästan allting som utspelar sig i rymden och är läskigt. Nu har Owlcat Games visat upp sitt kommande actionrollspel The Expanse: Osiris Reborn som inspirerats av författaren James S. A. Corey hyllade böcker.
Spelets beskrivning:
"The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is a third-person sci-fi action RPG set in the universe of The Expanse, where the tenuous balance of power between Earth, Mars, and the Belt is on the brink of collapse, and trust is a scarce commodity. Now it is time to gather a crew and find your own path through the web of lies to leave your mark on the solar system. By the 24th century, humanity has conquered the cosmos, but that hasn't made life any easier. What begins as a brief sojourn on the asteroid Eros reluctantly entangles you in a solar system-wide conspiracy. You will need to adapt to survive and keep your motley crew united in their mission as everything around you begins to fall apart. This is your story. The Expanse: Osiris Reborn offers a truly personal journey that evolves based on the choices you make and the pressures they place on everything you stand for."
Liknelserna med Mass Effect är tydliga och spelet innehåller även möjlighet till romantik. En av utvecklarna bakom spelet, Yuliya Chernenko, säger att inspirationen från Biowares klassiska spelserie absolut finns; "It was iconic for the Xbox 360 generation of gamers. Many of us first played it in our teenage years, and it left a lasting impression. We are building on that legacy and expanding what players anticipate from this experience. Our story is deeply rooted in hard science fiction, one of the core reasons The Expanse universe resonates so well with its fans. The combat reflects the standards of modern action gameplay. The narrative emphasizes political tension and moral complexity. And yes — there's romance too."
Något releasedatum finns ännu inte men utvecklarna säger att det "kommer snart" till Pc, Xbox Series S/X och PlayStation 5. En trailer och bilder finns här nedanför.
