    And I got all excited to play this, just to find out it’s only on Epic for PC. Ugh.

    What platforms will The Expanse: A Telltale Series come to at launch on July 27? The Expanse: A Telltale Series is set to launch on Xbox One / X|S , Playstation 5 / Playstation 4, and PC (on PC, it is a limited timed exclusive for Epic Games Store).

    And the wait begins.

      What’s annoying is the game devs went on Reddit to ask what everyone’s preferred gaming platform was before making this game a 1 year epic exclusive.

        If it was the devs, that seems more like they were trying to gather data to give to the higher ups to sway in their preferred direction. I’m sure the devs would like their work to be published on arguably the biggest gaming marketplace opposed to the execs getting a fat bag of cash from Epic for exclusivity.

    Right. Now, please, an Expanse space sim where I can pilot the ships and engage in battles. Because that was the best part of the show.

      Omg yes. I have no idea how it would work, I’m imagining turn based combat since it’s ttrpg based, but i want it so badly.

        No turn based. Full-on hardcore space sim with 100% realistic physics and weapons systems similar to Independence War, Hunternet and DCS. Or, put in another way—Orbiter with guns.

            If you want kind-of turn based realistic tactical space combat sim, check out Children of a Dead Earth. It’s the closest thing to The Expand space ship game.
