Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Version 1.5.3 Now Out via Update 1.500.300
It looks like Sandfall Interactive isn’t done updating Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 just yet! Today, March 17, the developers have rolled out versin 1.5.3 on consoles and PC.
Those on PS5, you’ll see the download appear as Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 update 1.500.300, and while this doesn’t bring any new content, it does apply various bug fixes and improvements to Photo Mode, gameplay and more.
Read on for the complete list of fixes applied today, and again, don’t expect any new content since the “Thank You” update seems to have been the developers’ swan song in terms of new content, though I’d love to be proven wrong.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Receives an Update to Resolve Issues Connected to Photo Mode, Softlock and More
Update On Sirene Crash
-
After a thorough internal investigation, the crash that occurred after defeating Sirene can no longer be reproduced on our end. If you keep getting this issue, we’d suggest updating your Windows to the latest version. If the issue persists, please submit a report and we’ll continue investigating.
Bug Fixes & Improvements
Photo Mode
- Fixed facial hair of characters being blurred in the Photo Mode on the close distance if Shading was set to Epic.
- Fixed an issue in Photo mode that prevented the Inner Cone Angle and Outer Cone Angle options from affecting the shape of the preview light source.
- Photo Mode’s spotlight and point light display has been modified to improve their visibility
Gameplay
-
Fixed an issue where loading a save while picking up a journal could cause that journal to disappear permanently and become impossible to collect again.
-
Missing journals are now also restored retroactively when loading affected saves.
-
- Fixed a soft lock that could occur, during the Chromatic Glissando encounter in Sirene’s Dress level, when a dead expeditioner equipped with Shortcut and Second Chance pictos was swallowed.
- Fixed an issue on Gestral Beach where using the Rematch option after losing the volleyball minigame could create a blocked save.
- Fixed a visual issue where characters affected by Inverted would not have the correct colour effect applied to their eyes.
Environment
- Fixed various environment issues (collisions, misplaced assets, missing or incorrect footsteps SFX) across Verso’s Drafts, the World Map, and other levels.
- Fixed various lighting issues on Steam Deck in Verso’s Drafts, Endless Tower and Stone Wave Cliffs levels.
Will we see another content patch drop in the near future? I wouldn’t put it past Sandfall. That said, it’s best to temper expectations for now, though I wouldn’t be surprised to see more hotfixes released in the near future.
Expect more games in the Clair Obscur franchise as confirmed by the game’s director.
