The Expanse: A Telltale Series episode 1 launches in July

TellTale Games and developer Deck Nine Games announced a release date for The Expanse: A Telltale Series.

The new episodic game based on sci-fi TV series of the same name launches on July 27th across Windows PC (via the Epic Games Store), Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5.

As mentioned, this is an episodic release like Telltale’s previous games, so only the first episode launches in July. The four subsequent episodes are coming every two weeks after that.

Here’s a rundown on the game:

Experience the exciting universe of The Expanse like never before in Telltale’s latest adventure, The Expanse: A Telltale Series. Follow Cara Gee, who reprises her role as Camina Drummer, and explore the dangerous and uncharted edges of the Belt aboard the the Artemis. From scavenging wrecked ships in a zero-g environment, to surviving a mutiny, to combating fearsome pirates, you make the difficult choices and reveal Camina Drummer’s resolve in this latest Telltale adventure.

Features

• A TELLTALE STORY LIKE NO OTHER Immerse yourself in the role of Camina Drummer, the Executive Officer aboard the Artemis, a scavenging ship hunting for a big score in the outer regions of the Belt. You must corral a crew rife with tense relationships and powerful personalities, and make tough decisions that will decide everyone’s fate.
• EXPLORE THE BELT IN ZERO-G Scour shipwrecks, use mag boots to walk on walls and ceilings, and utilize Zero-G thrusters to float through the void. As you fly through sections of ships and the open expanse of space, interact with objects in the world and converse with members of the crew in the largest and most immersive exploration of any Telltale game to date.
• DIFFICULT CHOICES, GRAVE CONSEQUENCES Contend with the unforgiving brutality of space, the politics of a corrupt solar system, the animosities of your crew, and Drummer’s own conflicting responsibilities to the people she cares about and The Belt she has sworn to protect. There is no right or wrong path – only your choices and the consequences they unleash.
