Owlcat Game Director Details The Expanse: Osiris Reborn's Combat, Companions, and Narrative Origins in New Interview
Owlcat Games' game director sat down with RPG Site to discuss how The Expanse: Osiris Reborn adapts the beloved sci-fi series into a CRPG framework. The interview covered the studio's approach to high-risk combat faithful to the source material, how player-selected origins shape the narrative, and companion design philosophy. Owlcat's prior CRPG experience — from Pathfinder to Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader — was cited as a key foundation for tackling the adaptation.
