Sandfall Interactive and publisher Kepler Interactive have released a new trailer for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, this time focusing on one of the playable character: Gustave.
The teams say: “Each character in Expedition 33 has their own unique story, motivations, and emotional development that players can discover when the game launches on April 24. In addition to their skills and powerful weapons to discover, each character also has unique combat mechanics to master on their quest to destroy the painter.”
This new trailer introduces Gustave (voiced by Charlie Cox in English) properly. He’s “an engineer who has dedicated his life to the defense and agricultural systems of the city of Lumière. As an expeditionary, he dedicates the last year of his life to defeating the painter and securing a future for Lumière’s children.”
Sandfall Interactive adds that “New trailers featuring additional party members will be released regularly”, which is great to see. It looks utterly gorgeous, this one, and we at the team are all very excited to get to play it.
Once a year, the Paintress wakes and paints upon her monolith. Paints her cursed number. And everyone of that age turns to smoke and fades away. Year by year, that number ticks down and more of us are erased. Tomorrow she’ll wake and paint “33.” And tomorrow we depart on our final mission – Destroy the Paintress, so she can never paint death again.
In this evolution of JRPGs, real-time actions enhance the heart of turn-based combat. Craft unique builds for your Expeditioners that fit your playstyle via gear, stats, skills, and character synergies. Open an active dimension in combat – dodge, parry, and counter in real time, chain combos by mastering attack rhythms, and target enemy weak points using a free aim system.
With only one year left to live, join Gustave, Maelle, and their fellow Expeditioners as they embark upon a desperate quest to break the Paintress’ cycle of death. Follow the trail of previous expeditions and discover their fate. Get to know the members of Expedition 33 as they learn to work together against impossible odds.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series S|X (Day on Game Pass) on April 24th.
