Wow. It’s finally here.
We’re finally able to reveal the release date for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33!
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 launches April 24, 2025 on Steam, and pre-orders are now live.
Dive into our Belle Époque-inspired world filled with surreal enemies, breathtaking landscapes, and unforgettable characters.
Meet Monoco (voiced by Rich Keeble), the friendly, loyal, but incredibly bloodthirsty Gestral!
Gestrals are friendly beings who enjoy the thrill of battle and view competition as a form of meditation. As one of the few Gestrals who speak the human language, Monoco has adopted quite the scholarly demeanour in spite of his bloodthirsty spirit.
Though Gestrals are untouched by the Paintress, the prospect of combat entices Monoco to join the Expedition. After defeating an enemy, he can transform into them (using their feet - he has quite a collection!) and unleash their skills in battle, with unique buffs generated by his Bestial Wheel.
The trailer also introduces Esquie (voiced by Maxence Cazorla), the mythical and powerful being who is able to soar through the heavens and dive deep beneath the sea. Legends also say… he’s lazy.
And the legends may be true.
Esquie enables you to explore the overworld, brimming with secrets, side quests, and challenges.
And speaking of overworld...
Our world map lets you explore a variety of locations and uncover secrets as you work toward defeating the Paintress. Alongside level-based areas like the Ancient Sanctuary and Gestral Village, the overworld is packed with hidden oddities to explore and unique locations. These spots feature tough optional battles and side quests, giving you plenty of chances to test your skills and dive into the game’s deep character-building mechanics.
You’ll also be able to set up camp on the overworld, where you can upgrade weapons and tweak builds, enjoy the game’s beautiful original score on an in-game record player, and chat with your teammates to learn more about their stories and motivations.
We are excited beyond words to bring you Expedition 33, and we’ve truly poured all our hearts and souls into creating something we consider truly special.
Thank you all for your support, and we’ll see you on April 24th.

Tomorrow comes,
The Expedition 33 Team
