Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Post-Launch Support
Critical Fixes and Language Refinements
Sandfall Interactive deployed Expedition 33's inaugural post-launch update through Steam on April 30. Hotfix 1.2.2 primarily targets gameplay stability issues across several areas.
The patch specifically resolves collision-related freezes when stunning Grown Bourgeon enemies, addresses world map navigation traps, and implements French, German, and Chinese language optimizations for improved localization accuracy.
According to official communications, the development team continues working on additional enhancements and will announce future updates soon. While these technical patches significantly improve stability, community feedback increasingly requests substantial content expansions.
The project's lead writer recently engaged with fans on Instagram regarding potential DLC prospects. While stopping short of confirmation, her response highlighted Expedition 33's commercial success creates favorable conditions for future expansions.
Creative Director Endorses Competing RPG Release
Sandfall's Creative Director Guillaume Broche surprised fans by recommending The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, another tactical RPG coinciding with Expedition 33's launch window. His April 30 social media post encouraged players: "Once you complete your Expedition journey, consider exploring The Hundred Line - another deeply crafted turn-based experience developed by passionate creators."
This endorsement reciprocated praise from The Hundred Line's co-director Kazutaka Kodaka, who previously commended Expedition 33's design achievements.
Remarkably, both titles achieved commercial success despite releasing alongside major competitors. The Hundred Line maintains "Very Positive" Steam ratings, while Expedition 33 shattered records as 2025's highest-rated title with over 1 million units sold during its launch window.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is currently available across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms. For ongoing coverage of updates and expansions, explore our additional game analysis below!
