Pre-orders go live on June 1st for the Standard and Deluxe Editions, with the former costing $39.99.  The latter costs $44.99 and includes 24 hours of early access for PlayStation and PC players. The Deluxe Edition also includes DLC, which will release later.

Developed by Telltale, Alcon and Deck Nine Games (of Life is Strange: True Colors fame), The Expanse: A Telltale Series takes place before the sci-fi TV series of the same name. It follows the scavenging ship Artemis from the perspective of Camina Drummer, its executive officer. As her crew explores The Belt and faces various threats, Camina must make decisions with different consequences.

A new gameplay trailer will debut at the 22nd Annual Tribeca Festival from June 7th to 18th. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.

It also appears adjacent to the Digital Tribeca Festival Game Showcase on June 9th. The development team will also have an in-person panel on June 10th at 4:30 PM ET. Ticket holders can also go hands-on with it during the event.

Game director Stephan Frost said, “We are thrilled to be a Tribeca Official Selection. The Expanse is an exceptional work of fiction, and we at Deck Nine feel honored to have contributed to this universe in the video game medium.”

Telltale CEO Jamie Ottilie added, “From the very start of development, our focus for The Expanse has been on the quality of the narrative and the opportunity to tell an incredible story filled with amazing characters that the player can participate in. Being named a Tribeca Festival Official Selection is the ultimate endorsement that we are on the right path, and we are honored to be included.”

The Expanse: A Telltale Series is based on the popular sci-fi series with Camina Drummer as the protagonist. It sees the Artemis exploring the belt, facing off against hostile forces like pirates and making tough choices. The last gameplay presentation saw players choosing between salvaging supplies or saving an ally’s leg.

For its story, the developers wanted to focus on crew interaction, space travel and Zero G. There are plenty of occasions where the characters’ perspectives clash. However, as time passes, you’ll learn more about their backgrounds and what they’ve been through.

The gameplay is very choice-oriented, with consequences for many actions. As outlined in the last extended gameplay trailer, you can choose to save a crewmate whose leg is trapped in a vault. Sacrificing the limb results in obtaining hefty supplies but could affect crew morale.

Of course, this is no derelict – pirates attacked the ship and slaughtered the crew, leaving their severed heads floating throughout the structure. Along with exploring in zero-gravity, Drummer also faces a decision to rescue her crewmate, Rayen, whose leg becomes stuck in a vault. You can either release the vault and save him while losing valuable supplies or cost him a leg.

The gameplay ends with Drummers and Maya, the engineer, getting into a sporting tussle before exploring the outside. The Expanse: A Telltale Series releases this Summer, though its platforms have yet to be confirmed. Stay tuned for more details en route.

Based on the Amazon TV shows, the story sees Drummer and her crew on the Artemis scavenging a mysterious ship. Things aren’t quite so peachy though (read: lots of dismembered heads), but there’s a job to be done. In addition to tough choices, franchise fans can see a more sensitive side to Drummer (before her appearance in the show).

The Expanse: A Telltale Series is out in Summer 2023, though its platforms have yet to be confirmed. Along with Telltale Games, Deck Nine is also involved in development. Hopefully, more gameplay will be revealed in the coming months. Stay tuned in the meantime.

Based on the acclaimed and successful Amazon series (yes, not on the books), The Expanse will see players stepping into the shows of fan-favourite character Camina Drummer, with Cara Gee reprising that role. With the story focusing on Drummer, the Artemis, and its crew, you’ll be heading out into the fringes of the belt to look for a mysterious treasure.

There’s no word yet on when it will be out, but interestingly, it looks like Life is Strange: True Colors developer Deck Nine is also involved with the project. The game’s been announced for PC and consoles, but specifics haven’t been provided yet. Presumably, it will not be an episodic release, with Telltale having previously announced that it’s shifting away from that model.
