Owlcat Games has announced it is recasting the role of the male protagonist in The Expanse: Osiris Reborn after a barrage of negative player feedback.
Speaking in a one month update for the Mass Effect-like sci-fi outing, the studio revealed that the original actor’s work was “less expressive” than the studio had hoped for. “While the voice actor for the male protagonist and [his identical twin] J put in a lot of good work, they felt less expressive than we wanted,” said the company. “Because of this, we are changing the voices of the male protagonist and J.”
The studio followed up in a press release confirming that “the team is looking for a new voice for both [J and the male protagonist].” Elsewhere Owlcat Games revealed, “Our dev team is also working on the overall character animations, including both facial animation and body movement, to make them feel more natural and polished.”
The Expanse: Osiris Reborn is scheduled for release in mid-2027 for PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X/S. You can read our hands-on impressions here.
