Fans of the sci-fi drama TV series, The Expanse, may be happy to hear that developer Telltale Games has set a release date for The Expanse: A Telltale Series. The first episode for this upcoming game is just a few months away from release.
The Expanse: A Telltale Series Episode 1 will be released on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via the Epic Games Store on July 27, 2023. Following the release of Episode 1 on July 27th, the remaining four episodes will be out every two weeks.
Pre-orders are open now for both the bog standard edition ($39.99 USD) and the Deluxe Edition ($44.99). All players that pre-order either version will get 24-hour early access to the game. Those that get the Deluxe version also get access to the DLC. The actual content included in the DLC has not yet been revealed.
In addition to this release of The Expanse, Telltale Games is working on The Wolf Among Us 2. The Wolf Among Us 2 is tentatively expected to be released in 2024 and not 2023 as initially suggested.
The first new IP announced by Telltale since the company re-formed in 2019, The Expanse: A Telltale Series is set prior to the events of Alcon Television Group’s critically acclaimed and award-winning television series which streams on Amazon Prime Video. Players take on the role of Camina Drummer (played by actress Cara Gee in both the game and TV series), the XO of a scavenger crew on the hunt for a mysterious treasure on the edges of The Belt. As Drummer, players must deal with a mix of powerful personalities, square off against a bloody mutiny, explore locations beyond The Belt and, most of all, make tough decisions that will decide the fate of The Artemis crew. Scour shipwrecks, use mag boots to walk on walls and ceilings, and utilize Zero-G thrusters to float through sections of ships and the open expanse of space in the largest and most immersive exploration of any Telltale game to date.
