The Expanse: A Telltale Series release date, gameplay, trailers, platforms
The release date has finally been announced for The Expanse: A Telltale Series, giving us not long to wait until we can jump right into the latest story-based experience on offer. Telltale has taken so many popular IPs and turned them into excellent contained interactive stories, from Game of Thrones to even something like Borderlands, and The Expanse is the next world for you to jump into.
If you've never heard of The Expanse before, it is a sci-fi TV show that only recently ended in 2022, taking place in a near future colony of the solar system. This is a rather untapped setting and scenario for Telltale experiences, which only further adds to the excitement for the game.
So, if you're wanting to find out everything we know so far about The Expanse, including the release date, gameplay, trailers, platforms, and more, make sure to read the rest of this guide below.

This is a formula that has worked time and time again, proving to bring new depths to every series that it touches. It will be especially intriguing to see this brought to outer space, with new dangers and challenges that the heavily-isolated setting brings.
It also looks like you'll be able to explore the dark and dangerous spaceships and stations that so commonly occupy the solar system, in addition to contending with zero gravity as an extra stress.
