Sandfall Interactive debuted a new trailer for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 during the first-ever Galaxies showcase. It focuses on the role-playing game’s lore with Maelle (voiced by Jennifer English)explaining the events leading up to the present day.

Several decades prior, the city of Lumiere was separated from the main continent under mysterious circumstances. Around the same time, the Paintress emerged and started painting numbers. Anyone aged the same would subsequently die. 

Lumiere sends out Expeditions to try and stop her but to no avail. As part of Expedition 33, Maelle – alongside Gustave, Lune, Sciel, and other members – ventures out, potentially to succeed where previous expeditions failed.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 launches on April 24th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Check out the latest character trailer here, showcasing Monoco, a Gestral who joins the party and can copy Nevron’s abilities. You can also learn more about the game in our feature.
