Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Gets Battle Retry Feature in Patch 1.4.0

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 received the Battle Retry feature in Patch 1.4.0 on July 30, 2025.

On top of that, the new patch added Frame Generation and Low Latency Mode support for both DLSS and XeSS (working only with compatible GPUs).

Lune’s Thermal Transfer skill will no longer grant an extra turn unless the Stain consumption requirements are met. Additionally, characters will no longer become immortal when using the Second Chance pictos combined with Healing Boon and Protecting Death. Also, with the drop of the new patch for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the Pictos menu will start showing the Lumina cost of each ability.

Besides that, an optional autoplay feature has been added for dialogues outside of cutscenes, which can be toggled in the settings or during the dialogues. Also, the game’s audio settings now include separate volume sliders for exploration and combat, allowing players to adjust them independently.

Developed by French studio Sandfall Interactive and published by Kepler Interactive, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was launched on April 24, 2025, for PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X|S. The game sold 3.3 million copies 33 days after its release.

The game follows the volunteers of Expedition 33 as they embark on a mission to eliminate the Paintress, a creature responsible for the annual Gommage, an inevitable event that erases people at or above an ever-decreasing age.

In January 2025, Story Kitchen, a company specializing in adapting video games and other unconventional IPs into films and TV series, announced that it will handle a live-action adaptation of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 in collaboration with the game’s developer.

As of the time of writing, the game has an Overwhelmingly Positive rating with 99,868 reviews on Steam and an all-time peak of 145,063 concurrent players, according to SteamDB.
