Our take on The Expanse: A Telltale Series
Players who want a single correct route may hit a wall when choices produce consequences without a right or wrong path. The crew’s tense relationships and Drummer’s competing responsibilities are central to those decisions, so the choice system is the point where a more direct, low-conflict adventure may lose them.
What is The Expanse: A Telltale Series?
Play as Camina Drummer, executive officer aboard the scavenging ship Artemis, as it searches the outer Belt for a valuable score.
Explore wrecked ships in zero gravity, using magnetic boots to move along walls and ceilings and thrusters to float through space. Interact with objects and talk with crew members while dealing with tense relationships and a mutiny. The story also puts Drummer in conflict with pirates, the politics of the solar system, and responsibilities to her crew and the Belt. Choices shape the crew’s fate and lead to consequences, with no single correct path. All five episodes are playable: Archer's Paradox, Hunting Grounds, First Ones, Impossible Objects, and Europa's Folly.
