The male protagonist and J in The Expanse: Osiris Reborn have been recast. The change was made because the original voice actor felt less expressive than Owlcat Games wanted. The decision follows complaints from players who participated in the closed beta in April. Future plans for the full release include more polished facial animations, a rework of the Ask companion system, and a more intuitive update to the cover system. The Steam update frames these actions as responses to player feedback and outlines additional steps planned for later development.
"“While the voice actor for the male protagonist and J put in a lot of good work, they felt less expressive than we wanted. Because of this, we are changing the voices of the male protagonist and J.”"
"“We've noted some of the key points below (based on your feedback), and what actions we've already taken and plan to take down the road,” reads the Steam community."
