TL;DR
Morphologis shares beta impressions of Osiris Reborn, a new cover-based action RPG set in The Expanse universe from Alcat Games. The video covers story, gameplay mechanics, faction choices, and founder pricing ahead of a planned release sometime in 2027.
Key points
1
Osiris Reborn is a cover-based action RPG closer to Mass Effect than a space sim, set just after the fall of Eros in The Expanse timeline, featuring a new mercenary crew working for Pinkwater rather than Holden and crew.
2
Faction choice (Earther, Belter, or eventually Martian) affects character appearance and starting stats but does not lock you out of other skill trees, and the current binary male/female default tied to faction is a placeholder.
3
Story decisions genuinely matter: a single conversation with station warden Okonnell early on can result in either the entire station being destroyed and him executed, or everyone surviving — a meaningful branching consequence.
4
Two specialization paths are available — Officer (combat and twin-command bonuses) and Hacker (wall-scanning, enemy disruption, drone swarms, terminal minigames) — with the hacker path feeling notably more distinct and fun.
5
Beta access requires purchasing the Miller Pack ($80) or Collector Edition ($290); the full game is planned for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC (Steam, Epic, GOG) with release targeted for sometime in 2027.
Actionable insights
→
If you want beta access now, you must buy the Miller Pack ($80) or Collector Edition ($290) — the Standard ($50) and Deluxe tiers do not include beta access.
→
The hacker specialization offers more mechanical variety than the officer path, including drone deployment, enemy disruption, and terminal puzzles — worth prioritizing if you enjoy tactical options over raw damage.
→
Replay the beta a second time with a different faction and different Okonnell dialogue choice to see the full scope of story consequences — the outcomes diverge significantly and are easy to miss on a single run.
Notable quotes
“It's genuinely satisfying to finally see a game that understands its source material and cares about the details.”
“One of those choices ended with the big bad executing Okonnell and blowing up the entire station with everybody I had met on board.”

Worth watching the full video?
Watch if you want to see the live gameplay footage and EVA combat in action — the key impressions and pricing details are all captured here, but the visual demonstration of zero-G combat and faction differences adds real context.
