The recently released trailer showcased new gameplay details, with a special emphasis on the star-studded cast of voice actors who will bring this mystical world to life.
Impressive Cast of Voice Actors
One of the main assets of the game is its impressive cast of voice actors, which includes well-known names from the world of film and video games. The announced roles include:
- Charlie Cox (Daredevil, Stardust) as Gustave, an engineer who dedicates his last year of life to fighting the mysterious "Paintress."
- Jennifer English (Baldur's Gate III, Elden Ring) as Maelle, a withdrawn young woman who sees the expedition as an opportunity to explore the world beyond her home.
- Kirsty Rider (The Sandman, Sifu) as Lune, a passionate scientist and sorceress who investigates the mystery of the Paintress.
- Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings, Black Panther) as Renoir, a passionate leader who believes that victory requires sacrifice, even at the cost of his own life.
- Shala Nyx (The Old Guard, Cyberpunk 2077) as Sciel, a warrior who has embraced the brutality of the world and fights devotedly for the expedition's goal.
A World Full of Mysteries and Action
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 takes players on an epic journey through magnificent landscapes, where they will attempt to defeat the Paintress and free humanity from her cycle of death alongside the expedition. The game combines elements of exploration and dynamic terrain traversal with combat mechanics that require precise timing to execute powerful attacks and defenses.
Among the other notable features of the game is a reactive turn-based combat system that forces players to carefully plan their moves to overcome enemies. The game world is rich with treasures, weapons, and dangerous foes, and players will need to use their skills to survive and progress.
The game will be available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S (available with Xbox Game Pass) and on PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. Physical editions will also be available in the markets of North and South America, as well as Europe and Asia in collaboration with Bandai Namco Entertainment.
