- The Choices You Make — and the Ones That Make You - 18 August 2026
Oye kapetang! When an RPG presents you with a choice, do you look for the “right” answer? The one that saves the most people, earns the best reward, or keeps every companion happy?In The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, the consequences are not always that simple. A decision can determine the fate of an entire station. A piece of advice can gradually change who a young member of your crew becomes. And some choices may only reveal their true cost much later.Today, we want to show how your decisions can change the world around you — and the captain at the center of it all. OriginsWe have already talked about how your origin shapes your past, connections, and opportunities. But where you come from does not decide where you stand. A Belter can support Earth, a Martian can turn against Mars, and an Earther can fight for the Belt. Your origin gives you a place in this world. Your choices determine wha…
- Weapons, Gadgets, and Player Freedom - 31 July 2026
Oye, kapetang!In our previous dev blog, we talked about how your origin shapes your captain's journey through The Expanse: Osiris Reborn and mechanically defines where you find yourself starting. But where you begin doesn’t define how you have to play. What if character creation didn’t lock you into an RPG class?Instead of choosing a fixed role, you develop your captain across four skill trees, but the weapons and gadgets you equip and upgrade ultimately define how you fight.Choose Your PlaystyleAt the start of the game, you'll pick a specialization that sets your captain's initial skills and gear. For example, a cyber warfare specialist (formerly a hacker in the Beta) starts the game with decent gadget expertise, and their playstyle leans toward using abilities more than firearms. A firearms specialist (formerly an officer) starts with better shooting and leadership skills, relying bot…
- Introducing Origins — More Than Just a Background. - 24 June 2026
Oye kapetang!How do you usually create a character in an RPG? Do you just pick a class, min-max the stats, and then jump right in? Or do you take the time to figure out exactly who they were before the game even started? In any case, The Expanse: Osiris Reborn’s origins will give you something to experiment with. During character creation, you will choose between three distinct origins: Earther, Martian, or Belter. Each of these origins offers unique bonuses to your exploration skills, starting gear, unique armor look, and affects you and your twin’s physical appearance. But the best part is how origins can alter your character’s journey throughout the game. Today, we’d like to talk about the latter in more detail.BackstoryThe Expanse: Osiris Reborn is a fast-paced, action-heavy game that throws you into the thick of battle right after character creation. But it’s only later that the ga…

- The Expanse: Osiris Reborn — Beta Highlights and Future Plans - 20 May 2026
Oye Captains! The Beta has been live for a month now, and the amount of feedback you've sent our way has been incredible. More than seven thousand people filled out the Beta survey: we’ve received a lot of unique suggestions and reports via the Beta’s bug report tool, and have gathered a lot of interesting statistics via telemetry and a ton of feedback from social media. Let’s take a look at a few highlights:The general reception of the Beta has been great. We received a lot of praise for the visuals, EVA, combat, Larry’s and Zafar’s heroics, music, and the general atmosphere of Pinkwater 4 station. Of course we also got some criticism and a huge volume of advice on how we can improve. We're still combing through every piece of feedback very carefully, hosting discussions among our teams, and determining what needs to be addressed and to what extent. We’ve noted some of the key points b…

- Bringing Space to Life - 20 November 2025
Oye, beltalowda! - What’s the worst thing that can happen during a spacewalk?- Why can silence be more terrifying than noise?- And how do you recreate the fear of drifting into the void inside a video game? To answer these questions, we turned to someone who’s actually been there: former NASA astronaut and ISS Commander Leroy Chiao. In our new video, Leroy walks through what real EVA fear feels like, why tethers matter, how space actually sounds (or doesn’t), and how your own breath becomes the soundtrack of survival. Alongside him, our developers break down how these insights shaped the game—from mag boots replacing EVA tethers, to recoil and ballistics in zero-G, to the near-silence of vacuum firefights, to how a cramped ship becomes a true home for a crew. You will be able to see the results of our collective labor in the upcoming Beta, if you are a Founder with a Miller's Pack or a…
