Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Post-Launch Updates

Bug Fixes and Localization Improvements

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has just released its first update, detailed in a Steam blog post on April 30. The update, tagged as Hotfix 1.2.2, primarily addresses several in-game bugs and enhances localization. Key fixes include resolving soft-locks triggered by stunning the Grown Bourgeon and navigating the world map. Additionally, the update brings improved translations in French, German, and Chinese.

The developers are committed to further enhancing the game, with more updates on the horizon. While these patches are crucial for smoothing out gameplay, fans are eagerly awaiting news on potential DLCs. Recently, Expedition 33’s lead writer hinted at the possibility of future expansions on Instagram, responding positively to fan inquiries and citing the game’s success as a promising sign.

Expedition 33 Director Recommends Another RPG Which Was Released on the Same Day

In a cross-promotional gesture, Sandfall Games' Creative Director Guillaume Broche took to Expedition 33’s Twitter (X) on April 30 to recommend The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, another RPG released simultaneously. Broche praised the game, saying, "After your Expedition, check out The Hundred Line, another great turn-based RPG that was also released last week, and made with love by an awesome team."

This shout-out was in response to The Hundred Line co-director Kazutaka Kodaka's earlier tweet on April 28, where he enthusiastically endorsed Expedition 33, stating, "Even after you finish Expedition 33, this Japanese cult game will still be here, waiting for you!" Kodaka continued to laud Expedition 33 in subsequent posts, encouraging fans to experience both RPGs.

Despite the competitive release schedule with other RPGs like Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remastered, The Hundred Line has garnered a "Very Positive" reception on Steam. Meanwhile, Expedition 33 stands out as the highest-rated game of 2025, achieving over 1 million sales within just three days of its launch.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is now available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. For the latest updates and more information on the game, be sure to check out our detailed article below!
