- Shala Nyx (The Old Guard, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty) as Sciel, a cheerful and serene warrior. Having long accepted the brutality of the world, Sciel is untroubled by the spectre of failure and deeply committed to the Expedition’s cause.
- Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings, Black Panther) as Renoir, a forceful and passionate man, Renoir knows that victory demands sacrifice, and he is fully prepared to pay the price.
- Ben Starr (FINAL FANTASY XVI, Warframe: 1999) as Verso, a dangerous stranger, Verso is an outsider of unknown origins who closely tracks the Expedition.
- Also starring Rich Keeble (Good Omens), Devora Wilde (Baldur’s Gate III), Tracy Wiles (Baldur’s Gate III) and Maxence Cazorla (Ineffable) in unannounced roles.
In Expedition 33, players will traverse awe-inspiring landscapes in their fated journey towards the Paintress. Featuring dynamic traversal mechanics to quickly scale impossible terrain and leap across huge chasms, players will explore a richly detailed world filled with treasures, weapons and imposing enemies. In battle, players will discover an innovative reactive turn-based battle system, requiring timed inputs to perfectly execute powerful attacks, or dodge, block and parry enemy attacks to turn the tables and claim victory.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is available to wishlist now and will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (available day one with Xbox Game Pass) and PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store) in Spring 2025.
