After teasing fans at last year’s Gamescom, the reborn Telltale Games has finally announced that Episode 1 of The Expanse: A Telltale Series will launch this summer. The game will arrive on July 27th for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One and PC via the Epic Games Store.

That’s not all, as following the release of Episode 1, the next four episodes will release every two weeks. Pre-orders for both the Standard ($39.99) and Deluxe Editions ($44.99) will go live on June 1. Pre-ordering The Expanse: A Telltale Series will grant players 24-hour early access on the PlayStation and Epic Games Store versions, while those who purchase the Deluxe Edition will also receive future DLC. Said DLC will be detailed in a future update.

Based on the Amazon series, The Expanse: A Telltale Series sees players take on the role of Camina Drummer (with actress Cara Gee reprising her role from the Amazon series), the leader of a scavenging crew on the hunt for a mysterious treasure on the edges of The Belt. As Drummer, players must work with a mix of powerful personalities, square off against a bloody mutiny, explore locations beyond The Belt and, as with many Telltale games, make tough decisions that will decide the outcome of the game’s story.

‘El Paso, Elsewhere’ – LaKeith Stanfield Starring in Adaptation of Monster Hunting Video Game

Published

on

Last year’s monster hunting shooter El Paso, Elsewhere is headed to the screen, with THR reporting that LaKeith Stanfield (Haunted Mansion) will star in the live action film adaptation.

Stanfield will also produce the film alongside Lorenzo di Bonaventura.

THR notes in today’s report, “There is no writer or director, as the project is still being packaged in the hopes of finding a studio home. The package is seen as buzzy, as it is a video game adaptation, a bustling genre thanks to titles such as The Last of Us, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, and the most recent hit, Fallout.”

In the upcoming movie version of El Paso, Elsewhere, “Recovering from a toxic relationship, James Savage (LaKeith Stanfield) confronts both his inner demons and enigmatic ex-girlfriend, Janet, before she executes a world-ending ritual. James navigates her reality-bending universe of ethereal monsters while facing the truth of his own addictions and skewed sense of self-worth. James learns that the only route to love is through healing.”

Developer Strange Scaffold’s El Paso, Elsewhere was released this past September.

Aaron Boehm wrote in his 4-star review here on Bloody Disgusting, “Much like its inspiration Max Payne, and other games in Remedy’s catalog, there’s a clear vision that unites every frame of this game, making for an experience that both reignites a classic action subgenre and forges an identity all its own. Few games have a better elevator pitch than El Paso, Elsewhere, and it’s awesome to see it live up to those expectations with style and heart.”
