I was worried Owlcat couldn't pull off Mass Effect-style cinematic action in its big new RPG, but after an hour of blowing stuff up in The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, I'm feeling very reassured
Owlcat Games is transitioning from isometric RPGs like Pathfinder: Kingmaker to a Mass Effect-inspired action RPG with The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. An hour-long preview showcased third-person combat, special abilities, and environmental destruction, reassuring concerns about the studio's ability to handle a major genre shift. While the RPG elements were lightly touched upon, the action sequences and visual spectacle suggest a promising leap forward for the developer, with a planned release in spring 2027.
