Mes amis, today marks a very special day indeed.

We are finally able to open pre-orders for our Vinyls and CD Sets! Head here [www.expedition33.com]for all of the info...

A note from Lorien Testard:

“I’m very happy to announce these Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 physical soundtrack sets. A huge thank you to Sandfall Interactive and Laced for making these releases a reality, and to Nicholas Maxson-Francombe for creating all the beautiful musical artwork on the sleeves. I wish you a wonderful journey through the world and the soundtrack of Expedition 33.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart—for listening, for embracing the game and its music, for making it part of your own journey. I can’t wait for you to experience it.”

The deluxe 6LP Vinyl Box Set is sequenced by Lorien to reflect the game’s three-act structure. All 63 tracks have been mastered just for vinyl, and have been pressed to heavyweight discs with spined inner sleeves, which feature custom artwork by our Art Director Nicholas Maxson-Francombe.

The Double LP edition contains Testard’s essential soundtrack selections, packaged with printed inner sleeves and a widespined outer sleeve.

And our 8CD Set includes 154-track original soundtrack album + 25 bonus tracks, which include

• Whispers of Tomorrow

• For Those Who Come After

• Until Next Life (Solo Voice) (previously unreleased)

As a special thank-you to you all, we have also released a new digital album: Nos vies en Lumière (Bonus Edition)!

You can stream it on all the usual music platforms, or grab a free download from our site[expedition33.com] or Laced Records’ Bandcamp[lacedrecords.bandcamp.com].

It features the full 33-minute version of Nos vies en Lumière plus some bonus tracks, running just over 1 hour and 30 minutes in total.

30 tracks from the original soundtrack have been newly mastered. That includes the entire Nos vies en Lumière trilogy (Une vie à t’aimer, Une vie à peindre, and Une vie à rêver), all remixed and polished by Jake Jackson, Joe Caithness, and the team at Laced!

These updated versions are now live on Spotify, Bandcamp, and more — and if you’ve already bought the original soundtrack, you’ll be able to download the new versions by following these steps.[www.dropbox.com]

Oh, and, one more thing...

We have put a downloadable version of Renoir's cane SFX on our website, by surprisingly popular demand. We aren't sure why this is so highly requested, but we hope you enjoy it.

We have rolled out a hotfix to Steam which fixes the following:  

Bug Fixes and localization issues

• Fixed the mouse sensitivity issue, should now work as intended;

• Fixed an issue with localization for vertical/Horizontal sensitivity in languages other than English;

  Tomorrow Comes
  
  ~ The Expedition 33 Team

Once a year, the Paintress awakens to inscribe her cursed number on the monolith. And everyone of that age vanishes, turning to smoke, and fading into nothing.

Each year, the number decreases, erasing more lives. Soon, she will mark “33.” When she does, we will embark on our final mission—to destroy the Paintress and end her deadly cycle for good.

Embark on the Expedition of a lifetime with Gustave (Charlie Cox), Maelle (Jennifer English), Lune (Kirsty Rider), Sciel (Shala Nyx), and Monoco (Rich Keeble), alongside incredible characters such as the powerful-yet–lazy Esquie (Maxence Cazorla), the mysterious Verso (Ben Starr), and the brooding force that is Renoir (Andy Serkis).

Let the world once again watch the sun rise without the shadow of her cursed figure, and may the wind of renewal take you to the ends of the earth.

Tomorrow comes, thanks to you.

Expedition 33.
