Limited Run Games will open pre-orders for the physical Nintendo Switch edition of The Expanse: A Telltale Series, the company confirmed via its social media channels.
The announcement follows the game's surprise digital release in April and brings a boxed option to fans of the franchise and collectors who favor physical media.
Background and platform details
The Expanse: A Telltale Series is a narrative-driven science fiction adventure developed by Telltale Games that serves as a prequel to the television series produced by Alcon Television Group.
The TV show itself is adapted from the novels by James S.A. Corey, the pen name of authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck, who also contribute to the television adaptation.
The game places players in the role of Camina Drummer, a character portrayed in both the game and the TV series by actress Cara Gee.
What the physical edition includes
Limited Run Games confirmed that the physical edition will be available for Nintendo Switch and priced at $39.99.
Pre-orders are being handled directly through the Limited Run Games website.
The boxed release includes the main five-chapter narrative and, for the Deluxe Edition, a bonus episode titled Archangel that features Shohreh Aghdashloo reprising her role as Chrisjen Avasarala.
Story and gameplay summary
Set against the politically charged backdrop of a colonized Solar System, The Expanse narrative explores tensions among Earthers, Martians, and Belters as characters uncover conspiracies that threaten the balance of power.
In the game, players assume the role of Camina Drummer, the executive officer of a scavenger crew searching for a mysterious prize on the fringes of the Belt.
Players face mutiny and interpersonal conflict, explore shipwrecks and off-world locations, and use gameplay mechanics such as magnetic boots and zero-g thrusters for vertical and zero-gravity traversal.
Developers have described the experience as the most expansive exploration-oriented Telltale game to date.
Deluxe Edition and cast highlights
The Deluxe Edition’s Archangel episode centers on Chrisjen Avasarala, allowing players to experience a politically consequential day in her life as she balances interplanetary diplomacy and personal drama.
Shohreh Aghdashloo’s participation in the episode connects the game directly to the television series cast, reinforcing its status as a canonical prequel to the show.
