In fact, all Collector’s Editions of Expedition 33 have already been snapped up, leaving the developers pleasantly surprised by the level of demand.

Set in a dystopian world, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 follows a desperate expedition led by Gustav and his team. Every year, the Artist inscribes a cursed number on her monolith, causing everyone of that age to vanish into smoke. As the number decreases annually, the stakes grow higher. In the current year, the cursed number is 33, and players must uncover the secrets behind the Artist’s curse to end the cycle of death forever.

With robust customization options for gear, attributes, skills, and team synergies, players can craft unique strategies to overcome challenges. Now that Expedition 33 has gone gold, fans can rest assured that the game will launch on time, delivering an atmospheric and gripping RPG experience.
