Telltale Games just released a new story trailer for The Expanse: A Telltale Series. This new story focused trailer is out on the same day that pre-orders go live for your platform of choice. As it stands, The Expanse will have its first episode released on July 27, 2023 on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC via the Epic Games Store.
Pre-orders begin at $39.99 (USD) for the Standard Edition and go up to $44.99 for the Deluxe Edition. All pre-orders will get a 24-hour early access period for every episode. Those that get the Deluxe Edition also get the DLC, whatever that may end up being.
Several media outlets also went live with their previews for the first episode of The Expanse today. Just check out your favorite gaming site to see if they have any fresh impressions. Unless your favorite gaming site is Total Gaming Network, in which case I must apologize for not being a big enough outlet to get pre-release impressions to share.
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.
