Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 News

Each year, the Paintress inscribes the cursed number on her monolith—and each year, an expedition sets out to end her reign. None have ever returned, but they have laid the trail for those who come after.

Sixty-seven years after their world shattered in the Fracture, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 follows the idealists still daring to dream of a future for Lumière.

Meet Monoco, the Gestral. Friendly yet bloodthirsty, he, like all Gestrals, thrives on the thrill of battle. To him, combat is meditation, and he can’t resist a duel—even with friends. Untouched by the Paintress, his only real reason for joining the expedition is the same drive that compels him to do most things: the love of a good fight.

Monoco possesses a unique ability—he collects the feet of Nevrons, absorbing their skills and transforming into them during battle. One of the few Gestrals who can speak the human language, his surprisingly scholarly manner contrasts with his clumsy, rough-edged demeanor.

Monoco is the final Character Spotlight that we will be releasing. Expedition 33 will release on April 24. Pre-order now!
