Was looking forward to both. This has 2 years until release, sounds like there are some troubles behind the scenes. Expanse is coming sooner regardless. I hope the Expanse is more action RPG and less resource collecting RPG; this looked closer to Mass Effect games.
 
I'm starting to get hyped for this, but I don't want to disappoint myself with high expectations.

It's helmed by Baldur's Gate, Knights of the Old Republic, and Dragon Age: Origins lead James Ohlen...alongside Ohlen is a team made up of former BioWare and Naughty Dog devs...the game features time dilation, space travel, and naturally, aliens...

looks like Ohlen is no longer involved with the game...on December 17th 2025 it was revealed that James Ohlen had stepped down from his role as Studio Head at Archetype Entertainment...

This looks like the closest we will getting a new game in the style of the original trilogy. The gameplay, that they have showed so far, reminds me a lot of the mass effect series and looks really fun. Also a big fan of Peter F. Hamilton so have big expectations for the story as well. This is one of the few titles on for release in this or next year that I am really looking forward to.

After looking at this I'm not sure if this is for me.
Lot's of Ubisoft "helping", where your next step is made very clear by pointing to your next objective at all times like your 5 years old or at least have the mental capacity of a 5 year old, and this looks to be set on a space station, so why would you need to swing in a rope like Indiana Jones to cross a gap? Wouldn't you be weightless in space? 🤔

Think Expanse looks much more promising.
 
They are all over the place, groundside and space. And high technology enough that gravity is expected on anything of decent size (but I do hope for zero G stuff). Expanse is very much different, but equally promising in my eyes.
 
Looks decent, shame it comes out around the same time as FF7 Revelations. Was hoping it would come out a bit sooner.
 
Exclusive early access previews should be treated as paid ads basically. I'll wait for genuine gameplay to decide if it's promising.

I don't treat previews as paid ads as long as they show a large part of in game footage that is being played by the previewer. You can often see if they are struggling with controls or if the movement is fluid, if the shooting has good feedback etc.

Getting to see the game in action does show quite a bit of how the basics work. The hit feedback and shooting looks good in what I've seen in the newer previews. It looks quite promising to me and this is currently my #1 on my wish list for 2027. Hopefully the expanse game is good as well, but it seems far less polished from what I've seen so far.

Maybe, but in most cases the gameplay shown in these are not their own but given to them by the developers. I still have far more questions about it than answers, and they probably won't be answered until someone independent starts playing the first 2-3 hours of the game.

Yup. Early access previews are certainly worth checking out, just have to remember they are often showing the best parts or are paying/compensating the people in some way.
