Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Team Unveils New Content For 'Major' Upcoming Xbox Update

There are many people who will have Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 on their list for Game of the Year in 2025, and it's about to get even better thanks to an upcoming "major" update that's set to go live in the near future.

This has been teased by the development team as part of some "thank you" celebrations today, with the game now having surpassed five million sales worldwide.

Here's what they say will be part of the next update for Expedition 33:

  • A new, playable environment, taking the characters of Expedition 33 to a brand-new location with new enemy encounters and surprises to discover.
  • Challenging, new boss battles for late-game players to overcome.
  • New costumes for each member of the Expedition, giving even more customization options for players throughout their adventure.
  • New text and UI game localizations into Czech, Ukrainian, Latin American Spanish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Thai and Indonesian, bringing the total number of supported languages to 19.
  • Plus, even more surprises fans can look forward to.

In a press release, the game's creative director advised that we'll need to be a little more patient until it arrives:

"We hope the update we’re working on will act as a ‘thank you’ to those fans for their support – please be patient while our team work hard on bringing you something worth the wait.”

If you haven't played this game yet, it comes highly recommended by ourselves here at Pure Xbox - we gave it an "Outstanding" 10/10 earlier in the year and definitely consider it to be one of the best Xbox releases of 2025.

It was a day one Xbox Game Pass release as well, meaning you can download it at no extra charge if you're eligible. Even if you're not really a turn-based RPG fan, there's a chance Expedition 33 might be able to convince you otherwise!
