May, June looks packed: Warhammer Skulls and Summer Game Fest are prime slots to tease the beta, hint at a release window and showcase the expected character editor. Devs are already telling players to "expect instructions", feels like the test could kick off soon.

🚀 Closed beta of The Expanse: Osiris Reborn from Owlcat Games already got early praise, RPGsite, Eurogamer and Polygon call it a legit cure for Mass Effect nostalgia.
