The first update of June has arrived for the acclaimed Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, bringing several improvements to the game. The update is live now on all platforms, but Steam users get the added benefit of new items added to the Steam Points Shop. Those who play on PC can redeem their points for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 items to celebrate this new patch. While this is a small bonus compared to the update, it is a nice touch by Sandfall Interactive and lets fans show off their love for the game.
Players in Clair Obscur: Expedition can enjoy new changes to the story gameplay. This includes the ability to rematch Simon after defeating him and various balance changes to the difficulties. Additionally, challenge modifiers have been added. These are usable once players have reached Act III and can be used at flag checkpoints.
Sandfall Interactive has also addressed various bugs and issues. A total of 297 problems have been resolved, with some major ones applying to different characters, saving issues, and stability. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s system, settings, and localization have also been touched up.
