The Expanse: A Telltale Series is in development

While the Expanse television series and book series are ending this year, fans still have plenty to look forward. The Expanse – A Telltale Series is being developed by Telltale in partnership with Deck Nine, and will be based on the Alcon Interactive Group’s hit science fiction series on Amazon Prime. According to the trailer, Camina Drummer, who was voiced in the series, will be the protagonist of the interactive story-driven game. The trailer debuted during Thursday’s Game Awards.

Based on James S.A. Corey’s best-selling series The ExpanseIn a future world where space travel and colonization of Mars are common, the scene is now. The tension between Earthers, Martians, and Belters (as the asteroid belt citizens call themselves) is on the precipice of snapping, as each faction fights for the survival of its people — and as an alien threat looms large.

The Expanse – A Telltale SeriesThis is before the TV series begins. Camina drummer will take control of the ship’s crew, leading a team that scavenges through The Belt. This interactive narrative game will see players face conflicting personalities and mutiny aboard The Artemis.

“The game is going to put you in Drummer’s mag boots, and force you to make all of the ridiculously difficult decisions that, as you know, Drummer grapples with,” Gee said in the announcement.

Fans have always loved Drummer. She has seen it all — a Belter born on Ceres, she was the right hand woman to Fred Johnson, Earth-born leader of Tycho Station and the Outer Planets Alliance (a point of contention among Belters). Drummer’s character evolves radically throughout the series, as faction conflict sparks turn to flame. Drummer, who is still recovering from her broken back, manages to buy a warship for OPA. By season five, she’s become the captain of a polyamorous crew running a pirate vessel, scavenging across the solar system.

There’s a Lotsto be a part of, with so many potential opportunities The Expanse’s most compelling supporting characters. It’s especially exciting to see Cara Gee reprise the role, as a voice actress for the game, given her excellent performance in the series.

“I have absolutely loved playing the character of Camina Drummer for the past several seasons on The Expanse,” Gee said, in the announcement. “And I think we’ve seen her go through this really really incredible arc, and with this Telltale series I think we’re having a chance to explore some of the unknown parts of Drummer’s story. And I’m beyond thrilled to get back into the eye makeup and the dialect, and dive in and just keep exploring this phenomenal, powerful character.”
