I'm currently rewatching the series and I'm still blown away by how fucking good it is. I hope the game will have a similar attention to detail.

One of if not the best sci-fi series. Grounded but thrilling. Fantastic cast too.
I'm hyped because I love the source material, but worried this is just going to be a cash grab from loyal fans... Seeing as the comic books exceeded their funding threshold by a large margin, I could see other industries trying to cash in as well.
Hopefully this is a well thought out quality game, has anyone done any playtesting who wants to talk about it?
This studio doesn't have a reputation of milking an IP for a cash grab. And if you were going to do that, The Expanse isn't big enough for that to be a very lucrative idea.
That is comforting to hear about the studio, the Expanse Dragon's tooth earned 1.4 million with 12k backers on kick starter, and that was in my opinion with little marketing, seems like enough for a cash grab to me!

I looked up Owlcat games, agree their previous projects seem to be liked, but this project looks VASTLY different from what they have made previously, I'll keep my hopes up though.
Also, see their recent release "Rue Valley"...
lol, well, I think a business would look at those small potatoes and say that it isn't worth burning your reputation on. Now Star Wars on the other hand...
Owlcat has worked on Pathfinder and Warhammer 40k lately, and fans of those properties seem to be fond of Owlcat's work on those CRPGs. I'm playing Pathfinder: Kingmaker now, and it's quality stuff, but I don't have any existing familiarity with Pathfinder. I expect they're doing an Expanse game because A) they believe they can make "the next Mass Effect" now that they've got smaller projects under their belt, and B) they're probably fans of The Expanse.
Rue Valley is a game they published, not developed.
Interesting that they would bother making the game with that perspective on the financial side, but we can agree to disagree.
I'll maintain cautious optimism but the video game industry has definitely let me down plenty of times, and companies have ruined their reputation for a mere pittance - does not mean anyone will do it on purpose, just that making video games is difficult.
One of the rare instances where I'm hyped for a new game. Love the expanse.
