Bug Fixes and Localization Updates

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has launched its inaugural update since release. In a Steam blog post on April 30, Sandfall Interactive confirmed that Hotfix 1.2.2 is now live, addressing multiple bugs and refining localization.

Key bug fixes resolve in-game problems, including a soft-lock triggered by stunning the Grown Bourgeon, various world map soft-lock issues, and more. The update also improves French, German, and Chinese language support for certain game elements.

According to the announcement, developers are actively working on additional fixes and enhancements, with more details to follow. While these patches are crucial for game optimization, many fans are eager for larger updates, such as potential downloadable content.

Earlier this week, the lead writer of Expedition 33 responded to fan inquiries on Instagram about possible DLC. While not confirming anything, she expressed optimism, noting that the game's success makes future expansions a strong possibility.

In related news, Sandfall Games' Creative Director Guillaume Broche recommended another RPG that launched alongside Expedition 33. Through the game's official Twitter (X) account on April 30, Broche encouraged players to explore The Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy. He remarked, "After your Expedition, be sure to try The Hundred Line, another outstanding turn-based RPG released last week, crafted with passion by a talented team."

This endorsement came in response to earlier praise from The Hundred Line’s co-director Kazutaka Kodaka, who had highlighted Expedition 33. On April 28, Kodaka tweeted, "Even after completing Expedition 33, this unique Japanese cult classic will be here waiting for you!" He continued with multiple posts applauding Expedition 33 and urging players to experience both remarkable RPGs.

Despite launching in a competitive week alongside major RPGs like Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remastered, The Hundred Line has earned positive feedback from players, receiving "Very Positive" reviews on Steam. Meanwhile, Expedition 33 maintains its position as 2025's highest-rated game, surpassing 1 million copies sold within three days.
