Telltale Games has released The Expanse: A Telltale Series on Nintendo Switch, with the Deluxe Edition appearing on the Nintendo eShop in select regions starting today.
The title is a story-driven sci-fi adventure set prior to the events of Alcon Television Group’s The Expanse television series, which is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.
Background and context
The Expanse franchise originated in a novel series by James S.A. Corey, the joint pen name of Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, who have also worked on the television adaptation.
The TV series is set several hundred years in the future and centers on geopolitical tensions between Earthers, Martians and Belters as a disparate cast uncovers a conspiracy that threatens the fragile balance across the Solar System.
The Telltale game expands that world through a narrative-driven experience tailored for consoles, including the Nintendo Switch.
What the Switch release includes
Telltale’s Switch release comprises the five main chapters that form The Expanse: A Telltale Series narrative, with a Deluxe Edition that adds a bonus episode titled "Archangel." The Deluxe bonus centers on Chrisjen Avasarala, portrayed in the game by Shohreh Aghdashloo, offering players a political and personal perspective tied to the broader Expanse timeline.
Telltale’s announcement states the Deluxe Edition is available digitally for $29.99 on the Nintendo eShop.
Gameplay and casting
Players assume the role of XO Camina Drummer, played by Cara Gee both in the game and in the TV series.
As Drummer, the player leads a scavenger crew searching for a mysterious treasure on the edges of the Belt.
The game emphasizes decision-driven narrative and exploration: scavenging shipwrecks, using mag boots to traverse surfaces, and employing zero-G thrusters to navigate interiors and open space.
The story includes internal conflict, including a violent mutiny, and player choices influence the fate of the Artemis crew.
Developer and platform notes
This Switch release makes The Expanse: A Telltale Series available to a console audience via the Nintendo eShop.
For players following the franchise across media, the game provides a canonical prequel perspective linked to the novels by James S.A. Corey and the televised series produced by Alcon Television Group.
