I don't like Telltale style games (both gaming and art).
As you can see in the trailer, the art style is nothing like the traditional one and as X2 mentioned, beyond the name there seems not much remaining from the original team (so I read), so chances are stuff is different.

In any case I'm looking forward for any The Expanse content, even more so if its a game and it includes one of, if not the best character from the series, voiced by bosmang Cara Gee herself.

Telltale went bust a few years back. Telltale nowadays is pretty much a new company with a handful of the old developers on freelance contract. This (or The Wolf Among Us 2) will be their first non-remake game since.

Maybe not ship to ship combat, but still very Expanse like:

Thanks for the tip. I forgot about this. Although it will be more ""Expanse like" waaay in the future (they don't have campaign, only skirmish and multiplayer modes).

It’s old, but “Terminus” by Vicarious Visions has some semi-hard sci-fi premises. Newtonian physics, for one. Generally gritty feel and lots of freedom for the player if desired. You can play in story mode or not, like the Battlecruiser(shudder) series.

You can still find used copies around, or .isos probably as well. FWIW I own a physical copy, but for whatever reason could not make it through installation. Downloaded a set of disk images and it worked fine… not sure about modern OS compatibility either, I’m on Windows 7 64-bit and all’s well.

I've been getting into Avorion lately. Minecraft meets X, kinda. Single and multiplayer. Design your own ships, stations, turrets...

Late to the party as ever...

Here is my 'non definite list' for something expanse like:

Spaceship sims like the X series

X rebirth VR and regular edition. Heavily modified.
I war & I war defiance (+mods)
I War 2 - Edge of Chaos (+mods)
Helium Rain (+mods)
Infinity Battlescape (PvP)
Objects In Space
Starsector (+mods)
Rebel Galaxy

RTS
Nexus the Jupiter Incident
Terra Invicta
Nebulous Fleet Command

RPG
Mission Critical
Iron Helix

and... some that have a general feel like the Expanse:

Duskers
Tartarus
Kryptark
Void Bastards
Subterrain
Hardspace Shipbreaker


Unfortunately we do not have a game that combines all of these yet.

Have been looking forward to Starfield for over a year now, and its modding capabilities after release.

Definetly late to the party - bar the visual novel ones I already own/finished all of the listed titles :D

Still thanks for nostalgia, I really would love I-War 2 remake or even balant rip-off as it had a nice balance between casual Sci-Fi (shields, hyperdrives) and hard Sci-Fi (newtonial physics, real scale star systems, lagrange points, light speed in-system cruise drive).
