Overview
- David Gaider posted on BlueSky on Friday that he has been collaborating with Owlcat Games on certain aspects of The Expanse: Osiris Reborn’s narrative.
- Owlcat responded to beta feedback by recasting the male protagonist and has named Blythe Melin as the new voice for the Captain and his twin.
- Blythe Melin said voicing both biologically related characters was a distinct challenge and that she worked to make each character feel unique.
- Eurogamer’s recent preview raised concerns about Owlcat’s use of generative AI in the game’s development, a topic the studio has not fully addressed in its public updates.
- Gaider’s BioWare-era experience on Dragon Age adds veteran RPG writing to Owlcat’s move from isometric CRPGs to a cinematic, third-person Mass Effect–style game, which may shape player expectations ahead of the spring 2027 launch.
