Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the debut game from Montpelier studio Sandfall Interactive, was first revealed to us back in June 2024 with a wild trailer showing a turn-based RPG set in a world being slowly destroyed by a giant, unfathomable paintress. During today's Xbox Developer Direct, we got another, longer look at the surreal RPG, and while its world might not be any less inscrutable, we know to expect its launch in just three months.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is set in an alt-history 19th century Belle Époque France—you know, like Lies of P—67 years after a massive, unfathomable entity called the Paintress appeared. Each year, she paints a number on her monolith. Each year, every person past that age dies. Seems bad!
