I have a glimmer of hope that OwlCat will deliver us an incredible experience with their game set in The Expanse universe coming out next year. So far they've done a mostly-favorable job with their CRPG games (Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous, and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader). Osiris Protocol, their "The Expanse" game, looks like it'll play similarly to Mass Effect, but is in the same setting as my favorite show of all time.

Wow this wasn't even on my radar lol... Looks decent. One thing that The Expanse doesn't really have as far as a worldbuilding element is that the only species in the solar system is Human. The books were originally intended to be lore drops for an RPG setting that the writers wanted to make, but we get Martian, Earther, and Belter as the 3 somewhat different "races" that is, unless you read past where the show ends in the books. You get hundreds of worlds and plenty of xeno-biology to play around with then...
Exodus, exploring a more vast space, looks like it will have more variety in that regard. Though it's a little weird to me that they'd choose "40,000 years in the future" when we kind of already have a 40k franchise that for sure has more lore than this new thing can hope to achieve.
