Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 team Sandfall Interactive has responded to concerns its debut RPG may come with a catch or some sort of drawback since it's not charging $70 for the game. Taking to X (or Twitter), the studio confirmed the recently listed $50 price point is indeed correct and addressed the suggestion it'll be a short experience since the developer isn't charging full price.
It said: "To be clear: we poured all of our hearts and souls into this game. When you play Expedition 33, you can expect 30+ hours of main game, and [just] as much side content for our completionist Expeditioners." Suggesting you can get up to 60 hours of playtime out of Expedition 33, it continued: "Pricing that you see from your local retailers is accurate, and we can’t wait for you to get your hands on the game." The turn-based RPG is now slated to arrive in Spring 2025.
Since its announcement in the summer, there has been a lot of excitement surrounding the game, but sceptics began to emerge when retail listings were uploaded earlier this week at a $50 price point. With high production values and an all-star voice cast, some suggested the RPG would be on the short side. Sandfall Interactive has now comprehensively addressed that worry, with the statement its main story alone will be over 30 hours in length.
