Owlcat Recasts The Expanse: Osiris Reborn Male Captain After Beta Feedback
Blythe Melin now voices the default male captain and his twin brother J, with both characters given updated appearances.
Owlcat Games has released a new video for The Expanse: Osiris Reborn showing a redesigned default male captain and confirming Blythe Melin as his new voice actor, according to ScreenRant. The character has been reworked to look less like a generic military figure, the studio said, following feedback from the game's closed beta.
Melin takes over the role after the captain's original voice performance drew criticism from beta players. The actor also voices the captain's identical twin brother, J, who serves as second-in-command and has received an updated appearance as well.
The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is scheduled for release in spring 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG. The game will also be available through Xbox Game Pass at launch.
Background
The project is based on The Expanse, the science fiction series created by James S.A. Corey. The original television adaptation, whose central characters included Jim Holden, concluded its six-season run before the game's announcement.
