Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Offers +30 Hours of Gameplay With its Story, Retails for $50

As a seasoned gamer with decades of gaming under my belt and a wallet that’s taken quite the beating from various game purchases, I have to admit, I find myself in a bit of a conundrum when it comes to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The visuals are breathtaking, the cast is impressive, and the storyline sounds intriguing. However, the $49.99 price tag for an indie title from a new developer feels a bit steep, especially when you consider that it’s launching alongside AAA heavyweights on next-gen consoles.


In a recent unveiling, Sandfall Interactive has revealed fresh gameplay for their upcoming fantasy RPG titled Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. This sneak peek encompassed additional combat sequences and narrative elements. Moreover, the developers have announced an impressive ensemble cast featuring Charlie Cox (known for his role in Daredevil), Ben Starr (from Final Fantasy 16), Jennifer English (of Baldur’s Gate 3), as well as the renowned Andy Serkis.

Indeed, the visuals and design are simply stunning. Yet, when pre-orders became available, some were taken aback to find it priced at $49.99 on Amazon. The developer has since confirmed on Twitter that this is accurate, and they’ve assured us that the main game offers over 30 hours of gameplay. Additional content is an extra addition.

Our compact crew embodies the independent spirit, crafting what we consider a unique masterpiece. Unlike large-scale AAA studios, we’re newcomers in the gaming world with our debut project. Our ambition is to share our imaginative universe with as many gamers as possible.

Let me make this clear: We’ve put every bit of our passion into creating Expedition 33. When you dive into this game, you’re in store for over 30 hours of main content, and plenty more side activities if you’re a completionist. The price you see at your local stores is correct, and we’re thrilled for the day when you can finally play it!

In Spring 2025, the game titled “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33” will be released for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC platforms. This narrative-driven adventure takes you on a quest to confront the Paintress whose upcoming creation is said to bring about the end of the world. Built using Unreal Engine 5, the gameplay incorporates turn-based combat with strategic elements such as parrying, targeting weak points, dodging, and other tactics.

Inquiries about the cost and playtime for Expedition 33 have come up. As a small independent team, we’re creating something unique and special. We might not be a big studio, but this is our first game, and we want to share it with as many people as possible.)
