Two sci‑fi RPGs aim to define 2027: Archetype Entertainment’s Exodus and Owlcat Games’ The Expanse: Osiris Reborn showcased new trailers and details. Osiris Reborn emphasizes squad shooting, a Pinkwater mercenary lead, and Mass Effect‑style dialogue, with genAI used only for non‑narrative work while final writing and voice acting remain human‑made. Exodus, built by BioWare alumni, promises space exploration, branching choices, a sprawling universe, and a grappling hook, with a full gameplay reveal planned for summer.
