The Expanse: Osiris Reborn devs welcome all the Mass Effect comparisons
Briefly

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, a third-person action-RPG by Owlcat Games, was announced during Summer Game Fest. The game is set in a realistic, futuristic universe. Early trailers drew comparisons to Mass Effect, with fans expressing excitement for the game. Creative director Alexander Mishulin acknowledged the influence of Mass Effect on their work, sharing the team's admiration for the franchise. The game will be available on platforms like PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, without a specific launch date as of now.
"First of all, [we feel] humbled [by the comparisons]," Mishulin told Polygon in a recent interview. "Mass Effect is a great inspiration for us because it's an iconic game for [the] Xbox 360 generation, and a lot of [Owlcat] team members played it in their youth. We're inspired by it."
"The Expanse is literally one of the best Sci-fi shows out there," reads another comment. "Even though they might have borrowed a 'few' things from Mass Effect, I absolutely love it. Just like the show, I had no idea a game was in the works. Instantly in my top 3 'cant wait to play' list! We gonya light em up koyo!"
"I'm Commander Shepard, and THIS is my favorite studio on the Citadel," reads one of the top comments on the game's announcement trailer.
"Mass Effect-like game in Expanse Universe? I'm sold," another fan added.
