Today is a huge day for Telltale with the launch of The Expanse: A Telltale Series. The episodic game is now live for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Epic Games Store. Today’s launch brings Episode 1 – Archer’s Paradox to players with more chapters to be released over time.
Fans interested in purchasing a copy of the game can do so in any one of two versions with the Deluxe Edition offering a bonus chapter called Archangel. The bonus episode can also be purchased as a standalone product. The Standard Edition is $39.99. The Deluxe edition is $44.99.
The Expanse: A Telltale Series is set prior to the events of Alcon Television Group’s award-winning television series which streams on Amazon Prime Video and iTunes. Players take on the role of Camina Drummer – played by actress Cara Gee in both the game and TV series, the XO of a scavenger crew on the hunt for a mysterious treasure on the edges of The Belt. As Drummer, players must deal with a mix of powerful personalities, square off against a bloody mutiny, explore locations beyond The Belt and, most of all, make tough decisions that will decide the fate of The Artemis crew.
Developers have created four additional chapters that will continue the overarching storyline. These will be released every two weeks so that players won’t have to wait too long between episodes.
“After four long years, we are all so excited to be here launching our first new game and we cannot wait for fans to play it. We felt great responsibility to honor the legacy – through great storytelling with compelling characters, and difficult but meaningful choices,” said Jamie Ottilie, Telltale CEO. “We’ve also worked to raise expectations from a Telltale game with more action, bigger environments and new mechanics like Zero-G.”
