The Expanse Physical Edition Pre-Orders End October 4
Limited Run Games announced that physical copies of The Expanse: A Telltale Series are available to pre-order for PS5 and Nintendo Switch until 11:59 p.m. ET on Oct. 4, 2026.
The standard physical edition carries a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $39.99 in the United States, £40 in the United Kingdom, €44.95 in Europe and $56.99 CAD in Canada.
Each package includes the game on a disc or cartridge, depending on the platform, along with special cover artwork and an eight-page booklet.
Camina Drummer Leads Telltale’s Sci-Fi Adventure
The game serves as a prequel to events depicted in The Expanse television series, placing players in the role of Camina Drummer.
Cara Gee reprises her role as Drummer, bringing the character into an interactive story built around Telltale’s choice-driven approach to narrative games.
Players board the spaceship Artemis and navigate a dangerous period in the franchise’s timeline before the events surrounding the Ring dramatically alter humanity’s understanding of the universe.
Story Takes Place Before the Ring Changes Civilization
Within The Expanse universe, the Ring is a massive alien structure that functions as a stable wormhole, connecting humanity to a network of distant star systems.
The Telltale game takes place before that development transforms civilization, focusing instead on Drummer and her crew as they face the dangers of life and conflict in space.
Across five episodes, players encounter hostile environments, rival groups and decisions that can affect relationships and the fate of crew members.
Choices Shape the Fate of the Artemis Crew
Player decisions remain central to the experience, following the choice-and-consequence format associated with Telltale’s narrative games.
As Drummer, players must make difficult decisions while managing relationships among the Artemis crew. Choices made throughout the story can influence how characters respond and how events unfold.
The game also incorporates exploration beyond traditional dialogue sequences.
Zero-Gravity Exploration and Scavenging Add to Gameplay
Players can explore sections of space in zero gravity while conducting scavenging missions for valuable resources.
Those expeditions can bring Drummer into conflict with pirates looking to seize the same supplies, adding danger to exploration outside the Artemis.
The combination of narrative decisions and environmental exploration gives the game a broader gameplay structure while keeping character relationships and story consequences at its center.
