Bug Fixes and Localization Improvements
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has released its inaugural update post-launch. In a Steam blog post dated April 30, Sandfall Interactive announced the availability of Hotfix 1.2.2, which addresses various bugs and improves localization.
The update tackles in-game issues such as soft-locking when stunning the Grown Bourgeon and similar problems on the world map. Additionally, it includes refinements to the French, German, and Chinese language options for certain game elements.
The developers have indicated that they are actively working on more fixes and enhancements, with further details to be shared soon. While these updates are crucial for game improvement, the community is eagerly awaiting larger content updates, such as potential DLC.
This week, Expedition 33's lead writer took to Instagram to address fan inquiries about possible DLC. While no definitive confirmation was given, the response was optimistic, hinting that due to the game's success, a DLC could be on the horizon.
Expedition 33 Director Recommends Another RPG Which Was Released on the Same Day
In related news, Sandfall Games' Creative Director Guillaume Broche has recommended another RPG that launched on the same day as Expedition 33. In a tweet from Expedition 33’s official X (formerly Twitter) account on April 30, Broche encouraged fans to explore The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy, describing it as a "great turn-based RPG made with love by an awesome team."
This recommendation came in response to a tweet from The Hundred Line’s co-director Kazutaka Kodaka, who earlier praised Expedition 33. On April 28, Kodaka tweeted, "Even after you finish Expedition 33, this Japanese cult game will still be here, waiting for you!" He followed up with a series of posts lauding Expedition 33 and urging fans to experience both RPGs.
Despite launching in the same week as other notable RPGs like Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remastered, The Hundred Line has garnered a "Very Positive" reception on Steam. Meanwhile, Expedition 33 continues to lead as the highest-rated game of 2025, having sold over 1 million copies in just three days.
