THE EXPANSE: OSIRIS REBORN

December 2025

A book adaptation offering plenty of space for agency

THE EXPANSE: OSIRIS REBORN

Quickly browse The Expanse: Osiris Reborn's wares and you may conclude that you're looking at an alt-universe Mass Effect. Running parallel to the early stages of the book and TV series, the basic ingredients are all here: a thirdperson cover-shooter RPG combines with interplanetary diplomacy and a gaggle of companions to ally with in battle and more intimate settings. But for Owlcat Games, a developer used to crafting RPG systems in games such as Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, the devil is in the detail. Look closer, and there are signs of that complexity in Osiris Reborn's frenetic firefights.

Possessor(s)

After three rounds of layoffs this year and Hyper Light Breaker’s curtailed development in early access, a lot seems to rest for Heart Machine on this plucky Metroidvania side project. The studio has an obvious knack for conjuring up fascinating fantasy worlds, but since its compact debut, Hyper Light Drifter, it’s been less obvious whether it can manage projects of a larger scale. And perhaps, on that count, even the modest Possessor(s) isn’t quite modest enough — it feels as much a victim of the company’s production woes as a showcase for its creative talent.

Street Fighter 6

Superstition might suggest that even numbers are more auspicious for the series, but it's fairer to say that Capcom learned from the mistakes of Street Fighter V and launched a fighting game that doesn't just feel like a full package, but one that has foundations to build on in future updates.

The Outer Worlds 2

There's always a risk in imitating something regarded as a classic: if it offers a template for success, it could just as easily invite unfavourable comparison. Obsidian Entertainment's Fallout: New Vegas has gained that reputation in the 15 years since its release, and while the original The Outer Worlds, led by Fallout creators Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky, referenced that series without aping it, the sequel zeroes in on New Vegas as its direct source of inspiration. This explains both why The Outer Worlds 2 is a success and why it can't quite stand tall as a creation with its own identity.
