Fans of narrative-driven adventures have a new reason to return to the Belt, as The Expanse: A Telltale Series Deluxe Edition is now officially available on the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop. The surprise release arrives nearly three years after the game first debuted on other platforms, giving handheld players a chance to experience one of Telltale Games’ most ambitious modern storytelling projects.
Originally developed by Deck Nine Games in collaboration with Telltale Games, The Expanse: A Telltale Series Deluxe Edition brings together all five episodic chapters along with additional bonus content in a single package priced at $29.99 (MYR 118).
A Late but Welcome Arrival on Nintendo Switch
The arrival of The Expanse: A Telltale Series Deluxe Edition on Nintendo Switch marks the first time the complete experience has been playable on Nintendo’s hybrid console. The game originally launched episodically starting July 27, 2023 across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
This new Nintendo Switch version includes the entire narrative arc from the original release alongside its extra story episode, making it the definitive way for new players to explore the universe of The Expanse in portable form.
The timing of the port may come as a surprise, but it reflects continued interest in expanding access to story-driven titles across multiple platforms.
Step Into the Role of Camina Drummer
In The Expanse: A Telltale Series Deluxe Edition, players step into the boots of Camina Drummer, portrayed once again by actress Cara Gee from the television adaptation. Serving as executive officer aboard a scavenger vessel called the Artemis, Drummer leads a crew navigating dangerous territory at the edges of the Belt while searching for a mysterious treasure.
Throughout the story, players must manage shifting crew loyalties, respond to a violent mutiny threat, and make critical choices that directly affect the fate of the Artemis and its crew. Like other Telltale Games titles, player decisions significantly shape the narrative experience, encouraging multiple playthroughs to explore alternate outcomes.
Gameplay also introduces traversal mechanics such as mag boots that allow movement along walls and ceilings, as well as Zero-G thrusters that enable players to float through damaged spacecraft and open space environments. These elements help deliver what developers describe as one of the most immersive exploration systems ever featured in a Telltale-style adventure.
Bonus Episode Adds a New Perspective to the Story
One of the major highlights included in The Expanse: A Telltale Series Deluxe Edition is the additional “Archangel” episode. This standalone chapter shifts the focus away from Drummer and instead places players in control of Chrisjen Avasarala, played by Shohreh Aghdashloo.
Set during a critical day in Avasarala’s political career, the episode challenges players to balance interplanetary diplomacy, political rivalries, and personal responsibilities. The story expands the broader narrative universe while offering insight into the tensions shaping humanity’s fragile presence across the Solar System.
This extra chapter adds meaningful context to the main campaign and strengthens the overall package for newcomers discovering the story on Nintendo Switch for the first time.
A Story Set Within the Beloved Science Fiction Universe
Set hundreds of years into the future, The Expanse: A Telltale Series Deluxe Edition takes place within the same universe as the acclaimed television adaptation and the original novels by James S.A. Corey, the pen name shared by authors Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck. Humanity has already colonized much of the Solar System, but political tensions between Earth, Mars, and the Belt threaten stability across the region.
Rather than retelling events from the main series, the game explores a parallel storyline that deepens the setting through character-driven drama and high-stakes decision-making. This approach allows both longtime fans and newcomers to engage with the narrative without requiring prior knowledge of the franchise.
With its arrival on Nintendo Switch, The Expanse: A Telltale Series Deluxe Edition is now available across all major modern platforms including PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, making the cinematic sci-fi adventure more accessible than ever before.
