Fans of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 are talking about the series’ future after the development team shared a new picture on social media featuring The Manor, one of the game’s most recognizable spots. The post, which was published on the official Expedition 33 account and contained only the words “The Manor,” was all it took to restart the conversation about potential downloadable content.
The comments from fans show a mix of excitement and direct questioning. Many users asked if DLC is currently being made, saying they can’t wait to jump back into the world. Others focused on asking for a photo mode, hoping that feature might come with any future update. The post also led to some fun reactions, including a humorous reference to Final Fantasy VII and jokes about analyzing the image frame-by-frame to find hidden clues.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a single-player role-playing game set in a bizarre world inspired by the Belle Époque, where players lead the final effort to stop the Paintress, a powerful being who wipes out a certain age group every year. The game stands out by offering a modern take on turn-based combat that includes real-time dodging, parrying, and rhythm-based combos. It hit shelves on April 24, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S, and was a day-one launch on Xbox Game Pass.
The developers have previously admitted that the game’s commercial success made them rethink their post-launch strategy. While downloadable content was always part of the original plan, the team at Sandfall Interactive temporarily stopped development to focus on polishing the base game. Earlier comments from the lead writer suggested a good chance for new content, though director Guillaume Broche later stressed that immediate priorities came before any expansion. Broche has since sounded more hopeful, telling fans, “we may be cooking,” a remark many people took as a subtle sign that active planning for new material is underway.
