《The Expanse: Osiris Reborn》Owlcat Games着手Belter Creole语言文化还原

Developer Owlcat Games is back with a new dev diary for the upcoming action-RPG The Expanse: Osiris Reborn. In it, the team shares how the experts helped making Belter culture as authentic as possible with words and gestures.

Check out the video above featuring Danil Volgin, a Cinematic Artist for The Expanse: Osiris Reborn, Nick Farmer, the linguist who created Lang Belta, and Roberto Campanella discussing bringing the Belt to life in the game.

“Lang Belta or Belter Creole is the language the inhabitants of the asteroid belt and outer planets have developed over generations by mixing cultures and adapting to the realities of survival in the belt. The language was created by linguist Nick Farmer for the Expanse TV show. It is a creole of English, Romance, Germanic, Slavic, Asian, African and Middle Eastern languages, reflecting how the Belt is a melting pot of ethnicities but also showcasing how different it is from Earth and Mars.”

The Belter culture is an integral part of what makes the world of The Expanse: Osiris Reborn feel lived-in, authentic, and believable. It also has gameplay consequences: if the player is from the Belt, they can speak Lang Belta, will get unique dialogue options and opportunities, understand conversations that make no sense to characters from the inner planets, and can get concessions from Belter characters based on their linguistic skills. Those hailing from Earth or Mars will need to earn the trust of their Belter vis-à-vis first.

The Expanse: Osiris Reborn launches on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG, and on console via Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 in spring 2027.
