Overview

  • The narrative runs parallel to seasons one and two of the TV series, introducing new protagonists amid the Canterbury incident and the protomolecule crisis on Eros Station.
  • Players select an origin as Belter, Earther or Mars-born, a choice that influences NPC attitudes and factional politics across the solar system.
  • A party-based system lets players bring two companions on each mission while non-chosen crewmates pursue separate objectives and story developments.
  • The classless RPG framework draws from Mass Effect, Baldur’s Gate 3, Soulslikes and Persona 5 to support weapon- and gadget-focused builds and meaningful player choices.
  • Despite featuring a customizable ship, the game omits ship-to-ship combat in favor of ground engagements and tactical gadget usage, including vision-enhancing visors.
