Kepler Interactive has announced a new turn-based RPG with real-time mechanics, called Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will be powered by Unreal Engine 5, promises to have stunning graphics and a heartbreaking soundtrack, and it will come out on PC in 2025.
In this evolution of JRPGs, real-time actions will enhance the heart of turn-based combat. Players will be able to craft unique builds for their Expeditioners that fit their playstyle via gear, stats, skills, and character synergies. Moreover, they will be able to dodge, parry, and counter in real time, chain combos by mastering attack rhythms, and target enemy weak points using a free aim system.
In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, players will be able to explore an enchanting realm populated by surreal adversaries. They will wander through breathtaking landscapes, from the Island of Visages to the Forgotten Battlefield, discovering secrets and hidden quests along the way. They’ll also be able to find allies of fortune in creatures of legend and recruit special companions, access new travel methods and discover secret areas in the World Map.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 looks really interesting, and below you can find its debut in-engine trailer. This trailer features some gameplay sequences, so make sure to watch it.
