Publisher Owlcat Games — creators of Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader — together with Alcon Interactive Group revealed a selection of new environments set to appear in the upcoming narrative-driven sci-fi action RPG The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. This title is set in the universe of the acclaimed TV series The Expanse, available on Blu-ray and streaming on Amazon Prime Video.

The video highlights a handful of key locations players will explore, from the industrial might of Pinkwater to the fragile ecosystems of Ganymede and the bustling corridors of Ceres Station.

“Every place in The Expanse tells a story,” says Alexander Mishulin, Creative Director at Owlcat Games. “When we recreate locations like Ganymede or Ceres, it’s not just about making them look authentic — it’s about capturing the struggles and hopes of the people who live there. That sense of survival and consequence is what we want players to feel as they move through the game.”

The Expanse is set in the future where humanity has colonized the solar system and the people of Earth, Mars and the Asteroid Belt have long been in opposition with one another. When the crew of the Rocinante uncovers an ancient alien technology, a vast conspiracy begins to emerge, one that will bring the solar system to the brink of war. The Expanse: Osiris Reborn expands the universe of the TV series and novels, putting players in the boots of a Pinkwater Security mercenary caught in the chaos of Eros Station’s deadly lockdown. From there, they’ll need to gather a crew, command a powerful ship, and carve their own path across a fractured solar system.

Key features of The Expanse: Osiris Reborn:

Create Your Own Captain: Play as an Earther, Martian, or Belter and take command of the system’s most advanced ship. Shape your journey through identity, leadership, and the pressure of survival.
Lead a Crew: Your companions are more than squadmates — they have pasts, motives, and a voice in your story. Your leadership decisions will determine how squadmate loyalty shifts under pressure.
Tactical Third-Person Combat: Implement real-time strategic cover mechanics using various abilities and squad coordination. Bring two companions into combat while others support from behind the scenes.
Explore a Divided Solar System: Travel across iconic locations from the TV show and books, like Ganymede, Ceres, Mars, and Luna. While traversing the various environments, players must uncover secrets and influence outcomes through their skills and decisions.
A Story-Driven RPG True to The Expanse: Immerse yourself in a narrative grounded in tension, consequence, and the complexity of humanity’s future among the stars.

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn will launch on Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. Fans can wishlist the game now.

Lizard-like enemy faction, looking like they need sunscreen
Two-handed weapon that puts the “great” in Greatsword
Voxel-based water simulation that can be used in building, for swimming in, fishing, aqueducting, more — and it doesn’t appear at all cube-like!

PLUS, they announced its release date! It’s February 13, 2026, baby!

February 13 is special for several reasons: First, it’s Friday the 13th, which is obviously cool. AND, it’s Valentine’s Day Eve. Kick off everyone’s favorite holiday in style by blasting alien creeps to rescue your sister. Romantic … ? Anyway, High On Life 2 has a little something for everyone! Snuggle up with your sweetie in your matching gaming chairs, smooching and killing aliens while laughing your asses off!

Fortunately, you’re armed with an arsenal of talking weapons, which are a mix of new and returning favorites including Knifey (Michael Cusack), Sweezy (Betsy Sodaro), Gus (JB Smoove), and, making his debut at gamescom, Sheath (Ralph Ineson).

Cronos: The New Dawn Gamescom Trailer

2025/08/23

Geek News, News, PlayStation 5 News, Trailers / Videos, Windows PC News, Xbox Series X News

At Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, Bloober Team unveiled a chilling new cinematic trailer for Cronos: The New Dawn, and it’s absolutely steeped in atmosphere. The trailer opens from a cat’s-eye view — an eerie, ground-level perspective that turns the familiar into something surreal. As if the trailer wasn’t enough, The Traveler made a dramatic appearance on stage in full cosplay — stepping out of the void and into the spotlight, blurring the line between the game and reality.

Cronos: The New Dawn is a third-person survival horror game developed by the renowned horror studio Bloober Team, best known for the critically acclaimed SILENT HILL 2 Remake.

The game is built around a powerful, original narrative that unfolds in New Dawn – an abstract reinterpretation of the real Nowa Huta district in Kraków, Poland. The story is told across two contrasting timelines: a post-apocalyptic future and the gritty industrial reality of the 1980s. This unique setting blends retro realism with dystopian sci-fi and a retro futuristic atmosphere, creating a deeply immersive world filled with tension, mystery, and psychological depth.

At this year’s Gamescom Opening Night Live, a stunning new cinematic trailer premiered on the main stage — featuring a surprise appearance by none other than The Traveler.

Watch The Cronos: The New Dawn – A New Breed Of Horror Trailer From Opening Night Live

The trailer immerses us in the haunting ruins of New Dawn, beginning with a mysterious sequence that follows the movements of a cat through the desolate landscape. From there, it transitions into cinematic shots of The Traveler – the game’s central figure – whose journey we’ll follow throughout the game. We’re shown gripping, high-stakes encounters as The Traveler faces off against The Orphans — terrifying creatures that haunt this broken world. All of this plays out against the haunting soundtrack of “Sixteen Days / Gathering Dust” by This Mortal Coil, heightening the sense of mystery and atmosphere.

Cronos: The New Dawn is scheduled for release on Sept. 5, 2025, for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation®5, PC (via Steam and Epic), and Switch 2.

Pre-order now on Steam, Epic, Gog.com, Microsoft Store, Nintendo and PlayStation. Players that preorder the Deluxe Edition get 48-hour early access starting Sept. 3.
