The Expanse: Osiris Reborn<\/a> is a third-person action RPG that has major Mass Effect vibes. But what\u2019s different with this game is that your gear, not your class, defines the way you fight \u2014 and we\u2019ve got exclusive details and screenshots to tell you how it all works.<\/p>\n

In Osiris Reborn, your origin shapes your captain’s journey and mechanically defines where you find yourself starting, but it doesn\u2019t define how you have to play. That is to say, character creation does not lock you into an RPG class. So, instead of choosing a fixed role, you develop your captain across four skill trees, but the weapons and gadgets you equip and upgrade ultimately define how you fight.<\/p>\n

At the start of the game, you pick a specialization that sets your captain’s initial skills and gear. For example, a cyber warfare specialist starts the game with decent gadget expertise, and their playstyle leans toward using abilities more than firearms. A firearms specialist, meanwhile, starts with better shooting and leadership skills, relying both on their own aim and on issuing orders to companions in combat.<\/p>\n

But specializations do not restrict your progression or lock you into a particular role. For example, you can begin as a cyber warfare specialist, invest in weapon skills as you level up, and gradually turn your captain into a hybrid of a cyber warfare and firearms specialist. All four combat skill trees \u2014 Marksmanship, Gadgets, Survivalist, and Leader \u2014 remain open, so you are free to combine them and develop your captain in the direction that suits you.<\/p>\n
