Excitement is growing as Sandfall Interactive prepares to release their first RPG, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on April 24.
This unusual game is set in a reimagined 19th century France and has caught the attention of gamers with its interesting story and unique art style.
First shown at the Xbox Games Showcase in June, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 takes players to a world threatened by a mysterious being called the Paintress.
Each year, she paints a number on a stone, marking the age at which people will disappear.
With the current year being 33, the members of Expedition 33 are determined to stop her.
Players will meet various characters, including Gustave, Lune, and Maelle, each with their own stories.
There’s also Monoco, a puppet-like philosopher, and Esquie, a balloon golem who can fly and help players explore the world.
The game features a unique combat system called "reactive turn-based combat," which mixes traditional turn-based gameplay with real-time actions.
Players can perform perfect defences and quick actions to make their attacks stronger, keeping battles exciting.
The art style is inspired by the Belle Époque era, creating a beautiful world filled with strange landscapes.
Each character has special abilities and can be customised to fit different play styles.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, and it will also be part of the Xbox Game Pass service.
A special Collector’s Edition for PlayStation 5 will include exclusive items like a hand-painted music box and an art book.
As the release date gets closer, excitement for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 continues to grow.
With its engaging story, innovative combat, and stunning visuals, this RPG is set to make a big splash in the gaming world.
Whether you enjoy turn-based games or are looking for a new story, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 promises an unforgettable adventure.
