For $80, You Too Can Play The Expanse: Osiris Reborn's Beta Today
- Starting today, April 22, 2026, Owlcat Games opened the closed beta for The Expanse: Osiris Reborn to players who preordered the $80 Miller's Pack edition or the $289 Collector's Edition.
- This space opera RPG was designed as a cover-based shooter set within The Expanse universe, drawing on developer Owlcat's legacy of traditional RPGs including Pathfinder and Warhammer 40,000 titles.
- Players take on mercenary roles across a 80-minute demo on Pinkwater 4 Station where impactful choices determine whether the station survives or faces destruction by Protogen enforcers.
- Strategic customization lets players swap gear and utilize gadget-based skill trees mid-mission, providing tactical freedom beyond traditional class-based RPG restrictions that Owlcat deliberately abandoned.
- While the beta offers an early glimpse, the full game launches spring 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S for a base price of $50.
