Another Owlcat game currently in development. Its a third-person sci-fi action RPG set in the universe of The Expanse. Gut feeling tells me Mass Effect in the Expanse universe, at least Owlcat has better writers than Bioware so this has some potential.

(The game is afaik) Their most ambitious project. They currently have 3 games in development, Dark Heresy, Expanse and a 3rd unannounced game.

My biggest worry is that Owlcat might be stretching themselves to thin…I just hope they know what they are doing.

    Reminds me that I never got around to that Telltale game lol

    My biggest worry is that Owlcat might be stretching themselves to thin…I just hope they know what they are doing.

    Especially in a time where it seems hard to get funding for games projects. My best guess is that Dark Heresy will reuse a lot of Rogue Trader’s stuff?

      Yeah my assumption is Dark Heresy will basically use the same engine and re-use a lot of assets from Rogue Trader which should at least reduce workload a bit.

      Telltale game was cool. I think the take on Drummer and the options to play the story as a really committed Belta were great. Some of the traversal stuff got a bit head-spinny (because zero-g), but definitely worth the price tag.
