Introduction to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
If you’re as excited as we are, then you’re probably buzzing about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the debut game from Montpelier Studio Sandfall Interactive! Unveiled back in June 2024 with an enthralling trailer, this turn-based RPG promises players a dive into a bizarre and painterly world on the brink of disaster.
A World Under Siege by the Paintress
Set in an alternate-history 19th century Belle Époque France, this game invites players to experience life 67 years post the arrival of an enigmatic entity known as the Paintress. Each year, she paints a number on her massive monolith, signaling the age of impending doom. Spoiler alert: the older you get, the less likely you are to stick around. Kind of a bummer, eh? The stakes are high as the protagonist and their team prepare to face the ultimate challenge: defeating the Paintress before humanity meets its untimely end.
What to Expect from Expedition 33
During the recent Xbox Developer Direct, fans were treated to a lengthier glimpse of this surreal RPG. While the world might seem as puzzling as a surrealist painting, we know this expedition isn’t going to be a walk in the park—if only the park weren’t filled with dreadful numbers! With just three months until launch, anticipation builds as players gear up to join the expedition, armed with strategy and a healthy dose of bravery.
So, buckle up, adventurers! Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is sure to be a wild ride through an enigmatic landscape where every turn could be your last. Will this team succeed where 32 others have failed? Only time will tell!
