We’ve been keeping a weary middle-aged eye on its development, and yesterday it got a release date.

It’s too late for most of us in the RPS treehouse.

But watch the trailer for yourself, maybe you’ll make it.

A character in Clair Obscur leaps into the air to attack a strange statue-like enemy using a giant stone mask as a shield.

It’s coming out on April 24th.

Anybody squeak through in time?

We’ve already seen the combat ina previous trailer.

Clair Obscur definitely has an interesting hook.

All the while the world seems full of weird critters painted into existence by a distant madwoman.

Previously, developers Sandfall Interactive have revealed that Andy Serkis of Gollum fame isamong the English voice cast.

Although my bet is that his is a small part.

As for the title.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is certainly a bunch of words in some order with a number attached.

The eyes pass over it like a faded road sign.

It might say something important under all the grime and vowels.

But it might also just be a picture of a windsock.

Laxadolia: Menacing Shards X. Sephical Lights: Code Wonder.

QsY XIV: Last Awakenons.

Yes, sir, these are unique Google terms.

Edwin is dead now, though, lost some Expeditions ago.

But maybe, come April, some of you will make it through.
