The Expanse: A Telltale Series sees the return of the episodic, narrative-driven series structure that the publisher made so popular back in the late 2010s. Following the story of Camina Drummer’s life (voiced by the very same Cara Gee from the show) from the TV show, you’ll be experiencing the events that take place before season one has begun. In essence, this is a prequel to the show. With this being an episodic series, though, you may be wondering just what the episode release dates are for The Expanse: A Telltale Series are.
The release dates for all five episodes were confirmed by the official Telltale Games Twitter account. The tweet also revealed that the episodes will go live at midnight, local time on each of those respective days. In other words, you won’t have to wait until midnight pacific time if you’re living in Europe until you can begin playing.
