The Expanse game release date
The Expanse game release date is Thursday, July 27, 2023, with the game releasing on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. Players who pre-order digitally will be able to play a day earlier on July 26, 2023.

The Expanse game story
The Expanse game is a prequel to the main series from Amazon Prime and follows Camina Drummer, the leader of a scavenging crew on the hunt for a mysterious treasure on the edges of The Belt. You will work amongst a number of powerful personalities and square off against a bloody mutiny that has upended the fate of the Artemis and its crew.
The Expanse game gameplay
The Expanse will follow Telltale Game’s usual narrative adventure format that offers up a mix of dialogue choices and decisions but also exploration. The game is closer in line with what we saw in Life Is Strange True Colors with larger areas to explore, and more ambitious gameplay mechanics.
These mechanics include exploration to search ships, mag boots to walk on different surfaces, and Zero-G flight to glide through space. Telltale describes the gameplay as the “most immersive exploration of any Telltale game to date.”
But, as you can expect, your choices decisions and actions will affect how the game plays out with no wrong decisions, only options that lead you down one of many different paths toward the end of the game.
