Owlcat Games today revealed a new gameplay footage of The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, the sci-fi action-RPG coming in spring 2027. The trailer shows us a mission in which we will have to dismantle a pirate stronghold to save two kids who got into trouble with pirates.

It all begins in a place where a customer entrusts us with a decidedly dangerous matter. A couple of kids, in an attempt to get noticed by the OPA, have thought well to provoke space pirates and now someone has to get them out of trouble. The decision will be up to us: we can accept the assignment and leave to save them, or give precedence to our objectives and leave them to their fate.

If we choose to intervene, the mission will take us to an asteroid once used as a mine and then abandoned, which the pirates have turned into their base. It is there that the young people have been trapped, and there we will have to go and retrieve them. Close firefights await us, in which aiming alone will not be enough. We will have to use our tactical skills, count on the crewmates and face fights in zero gravity. Fortunately, one of the girls to be saved will turn out to be anything but defenseless: she has more than one trick up her sleeve, including a swarm of nanobots.

The common thread of the presentation is a simple question: when do you really become a captain? According to Owlcat Games, it is precisely the small choices and random encounters that make or break a leader. Even saving a group of teenagers who are a little too exuberant could be one of the moments that lead to really deserving that title.

We leave you now to the trailer of the mission, enjoy!
