Owlcat Games has announced The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, a narrative-driven action role-playing game set in the universe of the sci-fi TV series of the same name.

The developer, best known for isometric role-playing games such as Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader, is stepping firmly into Mass Effect territory with The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, which has an over-the-shoulder third-person perspective, cover-based gunplay and class-driven powers, party management, and companion romance.

Owlcat said fans of the TV show will encounter familiar faces, with some of the actors reprising their roles, but stopped short of naming any. The canon story sees players assume the role of a Pinkwater Security mercenary trapped on Eros Station during a deadly lockdown. You lead a crew, take command of a ship, and navigate the solar system.

“We’ve been dreaming about building a sci-fi action RPG of this scale for a long time, and The Expanse is the perfect universe to bring that vision to life,” said Owlcat’s Creative Director, Alexander Mishulin.

“It’s a world grounded in realism and complexity, perfect for telling a story how we like — mature and character-driven, where your choices truly matter. We are excited to bring this new experience to our players and look forward to sharing more soon, especially knowing how many questions our fans will have.”

Game Design Producer Yuliya Chernenko admitted the original Mass Effect trilogy “was absolutely an inspiration to the team.”

“It was iconic for the Xbox 360 generation of gamers,” Chernenko continued. “Many of us first played it in our teenage years, and it left a lasting impression. We are building on that legacy and expanding what players anticipate from this experience. Our story is deeply rooted in hard science fiction, one of the core reasons The Expanse universe resonates so well with its fans. The combat reflects the standards of modern action gameplay. The narrative emphasizes political tension and moral complexity. And yes — there’s romance too.”

Like in Mass Effect, in The Expanse: Osiris Reborn you get to create your own captain (play as an Earther, Martian, or Belter and take command of the system’s most advanced ship), lead a crew (your companions have “pasts, motives, and a voice in your story”), and experience tactical third-person combat, with real-time cover mechanics, various abilities, and squad coordination. And, just like in Mass Effect, you bring two companions into combat while others support from behind the scenes.

The Expanse fans will be pleased to know you get to visit familiar locations from the show and books, such as Ganymede, Ceres, Mars, and Luna. This is a story-driven RPG, with a narrative “grounded in tension, consequence, and the complexity of humanity’s future among the stars.” Yep, that sounds a lot like The Expanse, and, it turns out, Mass Effect.

There’s no release date just yet, but Owlcat said The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is “coming soon” to Steam, Epic Games Store, GOG, Xbox Series X and S, and PlayStation 5.

It’s a busy time for Owlcat Games, which is working on the just-announced Warhammer 40,000: Dark Heresy as well as DLC for Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader. But it described The Expanse: Osiris Reborn as its “flagship project.”

“Rest assured, the team behind The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is completely separate from Owlcat’s other projects and will not hinder excellence elsewhere,” Owlcat insisted.

Fortnite has just wrapped up its latest explosive live event, detonating the Death Star looming over the Island and welcoming DC Comics hero Superman in the process.

Tonight's event, Death Star Sabotage, saw nearly 6 million players infiltrate the Empire's fully operational battle station that has hovered menacingly over the Fortnite battle royale Island throughout its Star Wars mini-season. Happily, and perhaps unsurprisingly, players were able to stop the station's deadly space laser from obliterating the game's map — although not without causing a bit of damage in the process.

As destruction rained down, the event's closing moments saw Superman arrive — presumably to try and help with clean up duties during the game's incoming superhero-themed season, which begins in just a few hours' time.

Fortnite's big Star Wars event began in orbit around the game's battle royale Island, giving players a rare glimpse at the game's setting from outside its usual boundaries. Fortnite's setting exists as a bubble of reality floating through the multiverse (which handily allows any character from any franchise to turn up at any time!) and here, players were able to pilot X-Wings and TIE-Fighters to blow up orbiting Star Destroyers and engage in fun dogfights. In the continued absence of a Star Wars: Battlefront 3, this was a fun riff on its space battles to get things started.

The action then swiftly moved to within the Death Star itself, as Fortnite heroes Jonesy (Troy Baker) and Hope (Suzie Yeung) led players through the bowels of the station, initially disguised as Stormtroopers and their captives. Ultimately, players found themselves in an encounter with Star Wars' Emperor (was that the voice of Sheev Palpatine himself, Ian McDiarmid?), and able to escape the Death Star as it exploded.

IGN exclusively debuted the new trailer for the upcoming third season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds at IGN Live today. Now you can watch it too via the player above or the embed below.

Season 3 of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds premieres on Paramount+ on July 17th.

“In season three, when we reconnect with the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise, still under the command of Captain Pike, they face the conclusion of season two’s harrowing encounter with the Gorn,” according to the official synopsis.

“But new life and civilizations await, including a villain that will test our characters’ grit and resolve. An exciting twist on classic Star Trek, season three takes characters both new and beloved to new heights, and dives into thrilling adventures of faith, duty, romance, comedy and mystery, with varying genres never before seen on any other Star Trek.”

The new trailer sees the crew of the Enterprise trying to repel an invasion, leaning into the cosmic action as much as the humor and whimsy fans have come to expect from the series.

All the cast – – Anson Mount as Christopher Pike, Rebecca Romijn as Una Chin-Riley, Ethan Peck as Spock, Jess Bush as Christine Chapel, Christina Chong as La’An Noonien-Singh, Celia Rose Gooding as Nyota Uhura, Melissa Navia as Erica Ortegas, Babs Olusanmokun as Joseph M’Benga, Paul Wesley as James T. Kirk, Martin Quinn as Montgomery "Scotty" Scott, and Carol Kane as Pelia – pop up throughout the trailer.

IGN Live was able to exclusively reveal the first five minutes of SYFY's upcoming adaptation of Revival, and we also had the chance to speak to the series' co-creator and showrunner, Aaron B. Koontz, about why this show about the dead coming back to life in surprising way will be well worth a watch.

Revival is set to debut on SYFY on June 12 and is based on the Harvey Award-nominated comic from Tim Seeley and Mike Norton that ran for 47 issues from 2012-2017. In our exclusive clip you can watch below, we are introduced to this world on 'Revival Day,' which is the day the dead rise. However, these aren't zombies; the undead are very much the same as they were when they were alive.

These few minutes are very much the same as the opening of the comic, and Koontz shared why that was such a great thing.

"It's one of the first scenes in the comic, and we were like, this hooked us," Koontz said. "I thought it was really cool and had no idea where this was going to go. And I will say, without giving things away, this scene is also more than just a scene. You'll see, after watching later episodes, that these first few minutes were hiding so much more than you realized."

One of the big moments from the clip is one of the undead being cremated at Randy's Crematorium in Wausau, Wisconsin, and trying to break free and then running around on fire. That was all practical and not some CG wizardry.

"I wanted to be ambitious," Koontz said. "I wanted to set people on fire and I didn't want to do CG. We were also in such a small town where there weren't a ton of extra ambulances and we felt really bad because so many medical personnel were there. I remember thinking, 'I hope nothing bad happens in the town tonight because they're all sitting on our set!'"

And of course, we got to spend some time with Randy himself, who is played by Graeme Barrett of Divorced Dads and Court of Chaos fame. Koontz actually found him on Instagram and thought he "fits the vibe of what we want juxtaposed against the serious business."

"I think one of my favorite things in the script was like, okay, but these are not our main characters," Koontz added. "So, how do you get them right to the main characters and what's there? And I love that Randy saying it's not my fault is also similar to the very first line you hear Wayne Cypress say. And you're immediately in a fight with Wayne and Dana, and so you're seeing and feeling the dynamic of the Cypress family, which is important because the Cypress family is the heart of this whole show."

So, all in all, Revival isn't meant to be a "super serious scary thing." Instead it aims to have scary moments, melodramatic moments, and also a lot of fun moments. Koontz said it's a mix between Mare of Easttown and Fargo, filled with weird, quirky characters, full on horror thriller elements, and the good parts of the zombie tropes with a twist that makes it unique.

Revival will premiere on SYFY on June 12 and will be available on Peacock the following week. The series stars Melanie Scrofano (Wynonna Earp), Romy Weltman (Backstage), David James Elliott (JAG), Andy McQueen (Mrs. Davis), Steven Ogg (The Walking Dead), Phil Brooks aka CM Punk (Mayans M.C.), Gia Sandhu (A Simple Favor), Katharine King So (The Recruit), Maia Jae (In the Dark), Nathan Dales (Letterkenny), Mark Little (Doomlands), Glen Gould (Tulsa King), Lara Jean Chorostecki (Nightmare Alley), and Conrad Coates (Fargo).

The series is based on the Harvey Award-nominated 2010s comic title of the same name from writer Tim Seeley and artist Mike Norton, which ran for 47 issues from 2012-2017 from Image Comics.

The fourth entry in a periodic run of docuseries that began with 2004’s Long Way Round, the current Long Way Home, airing weekly on Apple TV+, once more follows friends Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman as they go on another motorcycle journey together - this time from McGregor’s home in Scotland to Boorman’s home in England, except it’s by way of a rather eventful and time consuming adventurous long route through fifteen countries in total.

At IGN Live today, a brand new clip from the next episode of the series debuted, which you can watch above, showing McGregor and Boorman enjoying a sunny day on the road - something that can still feel refreshing based on where they call home, but particularly so thanks to how much rain the duo have encountered on this particular trip.

In conjunction with IGN Live, McGregor and Boorman spoke to IGN about Long Way Home, with McGregor describing the entire Long Way series as “a very, very important part of my life. The four trips we've done, we couldn't have imagined when we started doing Long Way Round that it would lead to all of the places we've seen and all the people we've met and all of the experiences we've gone through together. I don't think we could have imagined it, but now it's a large part of my life. The Long Way trips have become something really special to me.”

Though he very much agreed with how fulfilling it was, Boorman noted that filming the Long Way series “is always a lot more work than you think when you are doing these jobs. I remember a long time ago, 20 years ago, when we were doing all sorts of training for Long Way Round and we didn't really have a clue what we were doing… and we still are not really that sure about what we do! But this ex-SAS [Special Air Service] guy was saying to us, ‘Charley, if you can get to the start line – and it's so hard to get to that start line – then the adventure part is easy.’ That's the easy part because you've done all the hard work at the beginning to set things up, to get everything going. And that's the truth for anybody who does any journey.”

But while filming the series is technically a professional job, since the footage ultimately airs on TV, McGregor noted that compared to his film and TV roles, “It’s a different thing. It doesn't, to me, feel like part of my acting work. It's not. It's a different thing that I do and I love it. I love it very much.”

Boorman added that as much as they do their best to prepare, especially having done this so many times now, they can still be thrown for a loop, noting that when they began Long Way Home, “We hadn't ridden together for a little while and we left Ewan’s house and we went down the road and we had these old bikes and we looked great. We had all the gear on that you want, and we got down to the end of his driveway and it started to rain and we had all the wrong clothes on, and we were putting on all these waterproofs. And Ewan looked at me and he said, ‘Charlie, we've been doing this for 20 years… You would've thought we'd learn something!’ But off we went and it rained for four weeks.”

Asked about locations from the four series that particularly stand out, both men mentioned Mongolia from their first trip in Long Way Round as particularly impactful, with Boorman stating, “Mongolia was an extraordinary place that kind of tested us on every level.”

McGregor has an especially deep and personal connection to their time in Mongolia, recounting to IGN how they had a particularly tough time there initially thanks to a variety of reasons related to weather, terrain and more, which began to fill them with frustration. “It was wet and muddy and we were really doing like 14, 15 miles a day or something when we were used to doing many more than that.”

Because of that, he and Boorman were highly considering detouring down a road to the left into the nearby Russia instead of staying in Mongolia and called one of the show’s creators and producers, David Alexanian, to tell him their new plan. Recalled McGregor, “David sort of talked me out of it. He said, ‘Look, don't bail out of Mongolia just because it's hard. This place is amazing.’”

Because of Alexanian’s convincing words, McGregor and Boorman continued on to Mongolia’s capital, Ulaanbaatar, and McGregor recalled, “When we were there, we had a UNICEF visit with kids who live in the streets and in the winter they live underground near to the heating pipes because it's so cold there. And the next day we went to this identification center where these kids, when the police find them, they take them to this place. And we met a little girl there who is called Jamyan, who became my daughter. I adopted her with my ex-wife, Eve.”

Remarked McGregor, “If we had turned left, I never would've met her. And her life and our lives would all have been very, very different. And so it's a funny moment to be able to look back in time and go, ‘Jesus, that one choice to go left or straight on really affected our lives.’”

Unlike some actors who might want to keep a distinct separation between the roles they’ve played and something like Long Way Home, where they are being filmed as themselves, McGregor is able to easily have fun with his cinematic history during his travels - at one point pretending to use the Force to open an elevator door.

McGregor laughed that he really doesn’t give it that much thought, remarking, “It's something that's difficult to not do when there's an automatic door. It's just like a tick.”

New episodes of Long Way Home debut Fridays on Apple TV+.

As part of IGN Live, we can exclusively reveal the initial two terrifying yet adorable minutes of the first episode of Crunchyroll's Nyaight of the Living Cat anime and announce that the show will be getting its very own Dead by Daylight in-game collection collaboration.

The first two minutes, which you can see below, introduce us to the characters and this horrific world that is also kind of cute in a twisted way? As our characters try to escape a dark mass hiding in the shadows, it's finally revealed that what's been chasing them is a horde of very cute cats.

When one of our heroes falls and lets the horde catch up to him, he's not eaten or mauled or anything as he would be if this were a zombie apocalypse, but he is instead given a ton of kisses. Sadly, those kisses and even the mere touch from one of these cats turn him into a feline as well.

As for the Dead by Daylight collaboration, we don't have any more details to share, but fans won't have to wait long to find out what cuddly terrors will be joining Behaviour Interactive's game as details will be announced in the "near future."

Nyaight of the Living Cat will debut in Japan on TV Tokyo and other stations, and Crunchyroll will simulcast the series in the U.S. and more on July 6, 2025.

For those unfamiliar, Nyaight of the Living Cat began as a Japanese manga series in series that was written by Hawkman and illustrated by Mecha-Roots. In this world, a mystery virus that turns anyone who comes in contact with a cat into a cat. Our hero, Kunagi, has to try their best to resist the urge to snuggle one of these adorable kitties to survive.

You’ve got your MTG Final Fantasy cards, they’re all sleeved up, and you’ve even got yourself some fancy new dice and counters for the occasion, but something is missing.

That’s right, you need one of Ultra Pro’s latest Final Fantasy playmats. Ultra Pro, perhaps best known for its sleeves, tends to release a series of playmats for Magic: The Gathering sets, and they rarely disappoint. This time around, though, you can get a great new place to play while protecting your cards for just $26.99.

As is often the case, Ultra Pro has a series of playmats inspired by the Commander decks for the set. There’s Final Fantasy 14’s Y’shtola, Night’s Blessed, Final Fantasy 7’s Cloud Strife, Tidus from Final Fantasy X, and Terra, Herald of Hope from Final Fantasy 6.

These mats will set you back $26.99, and I’m definitely tempted to snag the Cloud one as a big Final Fantasy 7 fan. If you want to spend a little more, you can also get one of three two-sided playmats, which is a nice touch as there are a fair number of double-sided cards in the Final Fantasy set.

You can take your pick of Emet Selch/Hades, Sorcerer of Eld, Clive, Ifrit’s Dominant/Ifit, Warden of Inferno, or Sephiroth, Fabled Soldier/Sephiroth, One-Winged Angel. While we expect the latter will be popular, I’m more drawn to Final Fantasy 16’s Clive Rosfield, with a striking color scheme on a white background. The two-sided mats will cost you $39.99. Which one will you go for? Let us know in the comments.

So much of Dying Light is informed by the series’ melee-first design. Its impact can be seen in the damage system that causes its grotesque zombies to fall apart with every slash of your blade, as well as the weapon crafting, which turns household tools into hilariously impractical killing machines. And, of course, it influences the parkour movement, which allows you to keep well away from chewing teeth and clawing hands.

So what happens when you add guns to this close-quarters formula? And I don’t mean one or two rusty pistols, but a whole armoury stocked with shotguns, assault rifles, and plentiful ammo. That’s a question the next game in the series, Dying Light: The Beast, poses. The answer is not the obvious one. Far from transforming into a regular first-person shooter, guns have turned Techland’s latest into something that feels closer to Crysis or even (if you squint a bit) Dishonored. They’re another layer of an increasingly varied toolset that ensures every encounter is a sandbox solved by your own rules.

For this month’s IGN First, I was able to play an hour-long mission from an early section of Dying Light: The Beast. This meant stepping into the combat boots of Kyle Crane, the returning protagonist of the original Dying Light. Held hostage and experimented on for 13 years by a shadowy figure known only as The Baron, I join Kyle a few hours into his quest for revenge. Deep within the new, much more rural zone of Castor Woods, I infiltrate one of The Baron’s factories. And, standing on the facility’s roof, I realise my options are more varied than the last time I played Dying Light.

Using Kyle’s heightened “survivor” senses (a benefit of all those experiments he endured), I’m able to highlight the patrolling members of The Baron’s militia. Some are marked in orange, while others are red; an indication of who is armed with melee weapons or guns, respectively. It’s a colour-coded threat level that helps me set up a plan of action. Yes, it’s all very Batman: Arkham.

I start right in front of me with a blissfully unaware bowman. Approaching silently, I perform a melee takedown using a shiv I’ve crafted – much faster than choking him out – and then swipe the bow from his corpse. Bows were, of course, in Dying Light 2, but kept out of reach until the back half of the game. Their earlier introduction in The Beast promises a greater level of engagement options across the campaign, especially considering their ranged stealth potential.

Notching an arrow, I headshot the bowman’s buddies, including a rifle-wielding sniper on the opposite roof. No one hears him slump to the floor, so I’m free to parkour across and add his gun to my collection. Once again, my engagement opportunities expand: no longer limited to firing single arrows and enduring long draw speeds, I can take out groups of charging melee enemies before they make it into striking range… although everyone around me will know exactly what’s going on. Might as well make a spectacle of it, then.

I dive down to the roof below, where a further two riflemen, a squad of brawlers, and – delightfully – a pile of explosive gas canisters await. The dive triggers a slow-motion effect. It’s hardly the slick bullet time of Max Payne and the old FEAR games, feeling more as if you’re suddenly travelling through sticky air rather than becoming John Wick, but it nonetheless successfully emphasises Kyle’s military background.

With this expanded toolkit, Dying Light’s encounters have graduated into a space similar to Crysis and Far Cry’s sandboxes. Using Kyle’s survivor sense allows you to methodically remove enemies with guns from the playing field before going toe-to-toe with less dangerous foes. Flowing fluidly from stealth takedowns to silent headshots to shell-sputtering shoot-outs allowed me greater control over the space than I’ve come to expect from the typically messy melees of Dying Light 2. Combined with the parkour, which makes a respectable stand-in for teleportation, there’s even a little of Dishonored’s strategy to be found here, too – albeit less elegant in execution. My hope is that, beyond the boundaries of this demo, there are encounters that encourage a strong variety of approaches.

I’ve reason to be hopeful. As I explore Castor Woods, I encounter a zombie wearing a battery pack that detonates on contact, sending arcing forks of electricity through the horde. Another wears an explosive canister on its back – just one good shot will turn him and his buddies into barbeque. Talking of seared flesh, I later acquire a flamethrower. It’s clear that there are plenty of toys to experiment with, and I hope that Techland is playful enough to use these elements to coax players into cleverly absurd solutions for clearing out the undead and deadly alike.

It’s worth noting that Techland has upped its game when it comes to stealth, too. The bow, shivs, and tools like throwing knives are naturally all very good at silently dispatching human opponents, but there’s now a method for quietly avoiding zombies, too. Taking more than a few pages from The Walking Dead’s book, you can now smear yourself in undead guts in order to mask your human scent, and then casually walk through the horde. It’s a simple stealth tool, but one that’s incredibly evocative of the fiction Dying Light revels in.

But Kyle isn’t special because he can use a gun or take a bath in a zombie’s insides. Those aforementioned experiments have turned him into the titular Beast. It’s a similar backstory to that of Aiden Caldwell, the protagonist of Dying Light 2, but where Aiden’s infection gave him some zombie-like superhuman abilities, Kyle has become something much closer to a leaping wrecking ball. Triggered at will after taking and dealing enough damage to fill a meter, Beast Mode allows you to tear regular enemies apart with gory animations akin to Doom’s Glory Kills. A thunderous ground pound violently throws foes to the seven winds – using it indoors is effectively a screen wipe attack, sending zombies splattering into the walls and ceiling. All this came in handy against the demo’s final boss, a towering “Chimera” zombie known as a Behemoth, which is capable of hurling engine blocks and concrete boulders across the arena. The Behemoth has a number of easily recognised attack patterns, but the challenge is in its resilience, as well as the number of minions that shamble after you. With Beast Mode engaged, I was able to easily clear those mobs and inflict big damage spikes against the boss.

But as much as going toe-to-toe with another beast is good fun, I’m actually more interested in the utility aspects of Kyle’s mutations. Techland tells me that playtesters have used the Beast mode’s extended leap ability to bypass entire parkour challenges. And so it’s the unconventional uses of these abilities that promise to join the likes of guns and camouflaging yourself with guts in ensuring that The Beast feels like a meaningful upgrade over its predecessor.

The scope of this demo was pretty limited – in fact, it was largely a playable version of the hands-off presentation I saw at gamescom last year, and so there is almost certainly more to see in time. But being able to wander about this small slice of the world on my own time allowed me to enjoy some of the smaller details. The world feels like a substantial upgrade over Dying Light 2, not so much in level design (although much of what I liked about the old town section of Villedor returns) but in atmosphere. The new weather effects system is exceptional, with storms drenching the landscape with heavy rain and winds whipping trees, bushes, and long grass into a frenzy. And when the sun sets, the light really does die. It’s nearly impossible to see during the witching hour, forcing you to sparingly use your flashlight to navigate between the patrol paths of the much more difficult nighttime terrors. Long-time fans who pine for the scarier nights of the first game should hopefully be well catered for.

When I left my appointment with Techland at gamescom last year, I was somewhat skeptical as to how guns would affect the core ideas Dying Light is built on. Naturally, the studio wanted to show off its new toys, and that hands-off demo was played largely as a shooter. But having had the opportunity to play myself, in which I had the agency to choose when and where guns were deployed, I quickly learned that firearms are just one component of Dying Light: The Beast, not the main attraction. Their addition, alongside what feels like a strengthened inclusion of the bow and the series’ many trademark DIY melee solutions, made the demo’s encounters feel richer and more textured. Each combat scenario felt like a problem with a dozen solutions, rather than the melee mosh pits that I typically found myself in while playing Dying Light 2.

The question now is how all this evolves over the wider game. There are several tools and weapons that I didn’t get extensive or any time at all with, such as the aforementioned flamethrower and oddities like a throwable shock knife, and so my hope is that The Beast constantly adds weapons with unique utilities to the toolkit. And then, of course, there’s your mutations; each Chimera you kill allows you to inject more freaky DNA into your veins and unlock a skill tree of powers. I can only hope that the further down those branches you go, the more wild your ability set becomes. And provided the campaign continues to offer up interesting challenges that encourage the use of both abilities and tools, then I think The Beast could be a much more interesting sequel than it initially appears to be.

Why Isn't My Dress to Impress Code Working?

If the code you're trying to redeem in DTI isn't working, it's likely because of one of two reasons:

• The Dress to Impress code is expired
• There's a spelling mistake in the code

When inputting a DTI code in Roblox, make sure it's spelled correctly (for example, a capital I isn't a lowercase l, 0 and not O, and vice versa) and that there are no spaces before or after the code. We'd recommend copying and pasting codes straight from our article to ensure they're correct as we've tested and verified that the codes on this page are working ourselves.

If your DTI code still isn't working after checking for typos, it's more than likely expired and can no longer be redeemed in Dress to Impress.
