[summaraize]
It’s April, which means we’ve entered launch month for Sandfall Interactive‘s debut turn-based RPG, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33! While the studio is busy preparing for the big day, they’ve begun their big marketing push, revealing a brand-new character trailer along with some new details.
For those wanting details on what kind of graphical modes the game will feature, it seems that on consoles and PC, there will be plenty of options to play around with.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Will Have Plenty of Graphical Options for PC Players
First on the agenda is the newest spotlight trailer, which features Sciel, one of the many companions traveling with you to destroy the Paintress. Sandfall Interactive offers a bit of backstory in the trailer, as well as in the text, which seems to hint at a tragic past.
“Meet Sciel, the Cheerful and Serene Warrior. A farmer turned teacher, Sciel is warm and outgoing, enjoying life day by day. She is at ease with death, having long accepted the brutality of their world. But her teasing smile masks a dark and painful past. Though deeply committed to the Expedition, she is untroubled by the specter of failure. They will do all in their power, and it will either be enough, or it won’t.”
As for performance and graphical options, the studio confirms that the PC version will feature a variety of customizable options, ranging from Low to Epic presets, so that players can fine-tune their experience to their liking. You can probably expect the usual stuff, from texture quality, resolution, frame caps, and likely upscalers and frame-gen support, though whether that’s Intel, Nvidia, or AMD (or all of them) is something yet to be confirmed.
On the console side, both PS5 (standard) and Xbox Series X|S will feature a quality and performance mode, though the exact specifics have yet to be announced. PS5 Pro’s enhanced features have also been confirmed, and we expect to hear more about them as we approach the launch.
For preloading, PlayStation gamers will likely have to wait until March 22, 2025, as, typically, that becomes available two days before the official launch. Xbox gamers, on the other hand, can start preloading the game right now! The title also supports Play Anywhere and will be available day one on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.
And finally, trophies and achievements. For those hunters out there, Clair Obscur Expedition 33 will feature a total of 55 Achievements or 56 Trophies (Platinum adds an extra). The complete list isn’t live yet, but the studio did share a few of them in the press release. For those worried, none of these reveal any story details and are more along the lines of hitting a certain number or pulling off a specific feat.
- Expeditioner – Reach level 33.
- Overcharge – With Gustave, use a fully charged Overcharge that Breaks an enemy.
- Follow The Trail – Find all of the journals from prior expeditions.
- Professional – Defeat a boss without taking any damage.
- Connoisseur – Find all 33 music records.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is launching on April 24, 2025, on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store).
