Gameplay overview

Combat combines turn-based commands with real-time dodges, parries, counters, attack rhythms and free-aim shots at enemy weak points. Players build each Expeditioner through weapons, attributes, skills, Pictos, unlockable Luminas and party synergies.

Exploration moves between handcrafted regions and a world map with optional bosses, hidden quests, collectible journals and companions that unlock new travel methods.

Story, setting, or main mode

The Paintress awakens once each year and paints a number that erases everyone of that age in an event called the Gommage. Gustave, Maelle and the other members of Expedition 33 leave Lumière with one year left to live and attempt to destroy her before she paints 33.

Sandfall Interactive sets the journey in a surreal world inspired by Belle Époque France, including the Island of Visages, Forgotten Battlefield and the fractured regions surrounding Lumière.

Trailer, screenshots, and media

Sandfall Interactive's launch trailer shows the Expeditioners leaving Lumière, crossing fractured landscapes and fighting Nevrons with reactive turn-based mechanics. The seven official screenshots add party exploration, surreal cities, world-map travel and several enemy designs.

Developer and publisher

Sandfall Interactive develops Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 from Montpellier, France, and Kepler Interactive publishes the game. The project is Sandfall Interactive's debut release and was built in Unreal Engine 5.

Download and availability

The paid Standard and Deluxe editions are sold through Steam and Epic Games Store on PC, PlayStation Store on PS5, and Xbox Store on Xbox Series X|S and Windows. The Standard Edition is also included with eligible Game Pass subscriptions.

The Xbox purchase supports Xbox Play Anywhere between Xbox consoles and Windows PC. The Deluxe Edition adds cosmetic outfit and hairstyle collections rather than a separate story campaign.
