Get a first look at one of the missions awaiting players in the upcoming sci-fi epic, debuted during the Golden Joystick Awards
Nicosia, Cyprus, (November 11th, 2026) — When do you truly become a captain? Today, Owlcat Games answers that question with the reveal of brand-new mission gameplay for the upcoming action-RPG The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. Aired during the Golden Joystick Awards, the trailer shows the captain and crew taking down a pirate stronghold that has set up base in an abandoned asteroid mine and accidentally become the heroes of someone else’s story.
It starts innocently enough: In a seedy bar, the captain and their crew are recruited by a patron with a thoroughly dangerous dilemma to save a couple of teenagers looking to impress the OPA by antagonizing space pirates. Whether the captain accepts the mission and sets out to rescue the kids or prioritizes their own mission and leaves them to their own devices, the choice is up to the player.
In case they do accept, the rescue mission leads them to an abandoned asteroid turned pirate stronghold, where they have to save the trapped kids.
The crew faces off with the pirates in intense shootouts that will challenge more than just a player’s gunplay. They’ll have to flex their tactical skillset, leaning on the companions in the crew and navigating fights in zero gravity. Luckily, one of the teenagers being rescued turns out to have more than one trick up her sleeve — including a swarm of nanobots.
Ultimately it’s small decisions and chance encounters that can make or break a leader, and saving a bunch of over-enthusiastic teenagers might just be one of the events that leads someone to truly becoming a captain.
The developers also announced that The Expanse: Osiris Reborn will receive Brazilian Portuguese subtitle localization upon launch in addition to the already announced languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Russian and Simplified Chinese.
The Expanse: Osiris Reborn launches on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG, and on console via Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 in spring 2027.
