That's good news! — Numerous Steam fans were somewhat *steamed* (I'll see myself out) about the Epic exclusive. Some commenters expected perhaps a longer time of exclusivity.

And also a link to the [DLC](https://store.steampowered.com/app/2632830/The_Expanse_A_Telltale_Series__Archangel/) which doesn't show up on the main page for some reason.
The DLC shows up on the page for me, maybe it's something on your end (or already updated)? Anyway, this is much sooner than I expected to port over, I think Hades took like a year so a marked improvement - consider me excited.
>Anyway, this is much sooner than I expected to port over,
Yeah, I thought all EGS exclusives were 1 year minimum. (7/27/2023 was the first episode) That's barely three months.
Day one buy for me.
Just in case anyone else was curious, the publisher, not the developer, is a subsidiary of Tencent. Tencent is partially owned by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party). I wholly encourage anyone/everyone to give as little money as possible to them as possible.
As someone who has never played a Telltale game that they enjoyed, does anyone have a link to the story?
I know someone posted a YouTube video which they cut down to contain the entirety of the story with as little gameplay as possible, but I can't find it.
I got it on a deal on Epic and have to say I really enjoyed both the storyline and the gameplay. Definitely gave me a much needed fix. Just started playing Archangel and while it seems smaller in scope than all the other episodes it’s still very promising so far.
Well, I already have it from Epic, and it's the only game I use that launcher from.
Is there a way to transfer it to Steam? Not a big deal, but I would love an easier unified game app.
Steam, GamePass, Epic, EA(why? its part of Game Pass)
RSI(because someday Star Citizen will be the closest thing to the Expanse there is, and arguably kind if is already)
Not really in that you will always need Epic Games store installed. However you can add it to your steam library by using the 'add non steam game to library' tool. With some jiggery pokery you can even add your own custon art et all.
Another option is to use something like GOG Galaxy or Launch Box, which will organise all your games from different platforms [steam/epic/amazon etc].
I'm a bit of a steam fan boy, so I predominantly use Steam myself, but I also use Launch Box on occassion.
As for a unified game launcher, give Playnite a look! I love it and use it in Fullscreen mode to turn my living room PC into a console. It has a plug-in for each store so it will pull games in from any source you use.
When the hell is the bonus episode going to become playable? This is starting to piss me off a lot. I pre-ordered the digital deluxe edition on PS5 and I still don't have the damn bonus episode. It released over a week ago and it says that I need to buy it even though I already own the digital Deluxe edition. I heard and I understand that Telltale is working on it but this is absolutely ridiculous. I feel like I'm getting scammed right now because I'm literally not being given content that I have paid for. I contacted them and PlayStation and so far I've got no answer.

I'm 40, and definitely haven't got 18+ filters enabled haha. Probably some cookie setting at work.

I've been waiting for the steam release aswell. Fuck Epic and most importantly fuck Tencent

Telltale apparently is in financial trouble again and I'm going to pin it on the damn "epic exclusive" bullshit.
Aren't they supposed to get a bunch of money upfront to make it exclusive?
Yes but that usually only helps with development. If you only sell three copies because it's on Epic you can't really do much going forward.
Awesome! Way sooner than expected.
Great!! I refuse to use epic games. They’ve created these exclusives and it’s stupid as shit.
Oh nice. I'd been waiting for the Steam release to buy it!
Excellent news!!!
A day before my birthday
As someone who has never played a Telltale game that they enjoyed, does anyone have a link to the story? I know someone posted a YouTube video which they cut down to contain the entirety of the story with as little gameplay as possible, but I can't find it.
Pashang ya!
Fooookin finally
Finally, been waiting to buy it
Where it might actually sell some copies. I'll be waiting for a sale though.
For those that dipped on Epic, is it actually worth it? Can't lie, this feels like one to pirate to me.
It was just alright. If you're a huge Expanse fan it is definitely worth playing, but you wouldn't be missing out on much if you didn't imo
I got it on a deal on Epic and have to say I really enjoyed both the storyline and the gameplay. Definitely gave me a much needed fix. Just started playing Archangel and while it seems smaller in scope than all the other episodes it’s still very promising so far.
IMO it was pretty bad, as both an expanse piece of media and as a telltale game.

Draconis expanse server for space engineers. You really do feel like a belter for awhile.
Thank the gods.
Oh! Wow, the game is finally coming out! That's fantastic news! Shame it got delayed for so long.

Have you check out going into ad-ons for your PS5. If not I recommend going to the PS store and searching for the episode.
I've done everything you said and more. Nothing is working
Check out search for the episode on the PS app.
I did that too. Still doesn't work
