During the Xbox’s Developer Direct presentation, independent developer Sandfall Interactive and video game publisher Kepler Interactive revealed brand-new details about their highly anticipated turn-based RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Yes, it finally has a release date.

The presentation revealed new story and gameplay details, along with a deeper look at characters that fans can look forward to when the game launches on April 24, 2025, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (available day one with Xbox Game Pass), and PC via Steam.

Filmed on location at Sandfall Interactive’s studio in Montpellier, France, several members of the development team shared more detail on the game’s emotional story, stunning art direction inspired by Belle Epoque France, and its innovative reactive turn-based combat gameplay, which looks to blend RPG mechanics with real-time defensive and offensive abilities.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Characters Revealed

Additionally, the team revealed brand-new characters players will encounter during their adventure:

  • Monoco (voiced by Rich Keeble): Monoco the Gestral joins the Expedition as a fully playable character, bringing his own unique playstyle to battles by transforming himself into the enemies the party encounters and using their abilities against them.
  • Esquie (voiced by Maxence Cazorla): Esquie is an altogether more unusual character that players will befriend and use to discover the game’s explorable world. Throughout the game, players will unlock more abilities with Esquie, letting the Expedition climb aboard and traverse, swim, and soar across the game’s newly revealed overworld map.
Look into Clair Obscur’s gameplay

Expedition 33’s will feature the world map, giving players the freedom to explore various new locations and secrets on their path to destroy the Paintress. Outside of level-based environments like Ancient Sanctuary and the Gestral Village, the overworld has unique discoverable caves and bespoke locations hosting challenging optional battles and side quests, providing extensive opportunities for players to test their mettle and master the game’s deep and rewarding character-building mechanics.

Players will also be able to set up camp on the overworld, taking time to reinforce their character weapons and builds, listen to the game’s stunning original score via an in-game record player, and have conversations with their teammates to learn more about their stories and motivations on their path to destroy the Paintress.
