Total sales for turn-based RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 have surpassed 500,000 units just one day after release, publisher Kepler Interactive and developer Sandfall Interactive announced.
The most powerful element in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is Fire for its Burn mechanics, but the reason for that is actually rooted in the story.
Game Rant interviews Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's composer, who discusses how he came up with the character themes and the connections between them.
TNS: Xbox Game Pass released Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remastered, making it one of the best weeks for the platform.
"People tried telling me that GP was some how dying."
They been sing the same some song since 2017. They never get tired of it.
Just beat avowed halfway through summer midnight just started oblivion best 20$ spent
Good stuff, I'm 1/2 way through Avowed, started South of Midnight, and downloaded Oblivion lol.
I specifically signed up last month because of everything that's been dropping in recent weeks. A sound investment imo.
Its a crazy value now for Xbox gamers. Its gotten so much better now that better games are getting released.
I generally prefer playing on PS5 but gotta give credit to GamePass.
Some examples just up to July:
Ninja Gaiden 2 Black
Doom: The Dark Ages
Pro Skater 3+4
Oblivion Remastered
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
South Of Midnight
Avowed
Mad Mullet Jack
Blue Prince
Atomfall
Would cost a lot of money to buy all these Day 1. I love my gaming childhood but this much access to games would have been cool growing up.
Sure if you want all of those games it could cost a lot of money. For me, I only wanted 4 of them on the list and I really don’t have a problem with buying them and letting them know I’m willing to support them.
@got I did, playing Obscure on my ps5 now and have south of midnight installed on my pc and series X. Even bought NG2B day and date
Game Pass is about saving money, though. You do you, supporting developers is great, some of us are poor, though :(
4 games is a good amount of playtime and easily over $100, and I would argue that playing their game on GP is supporting the dev, They track that type of stuff and were paid from MS for it being there.
Additionally it raises interest in a dev, and IP which is a big deal for ongoing development.
My point being , you playing on GP would still let them know you are playing, and your comment in no way dispells thae fact of the topic that GP is a great value at the moment.
Gamepass ultimate is 20 a month, that’s 240 a year. And before you start talking about deals I’ve been down that road, I’ve done the 1dollars and stacking already. And truthfully? It wasn’t saving me money. I had a catalogue of games but I had the year to play them, and with the games rotating I had a couple months at best to play most.
You know how long I have to play the games I bought? As long as I please without being rushed. That was my biggest problem with having Gamepass and praising it for adding games I never get around to playing doesn’t make it a great value for me.
I don’t like feeling like I HAVE to prioritize a game. Heck I beat Star Wars fallen order THIS year after playing it the last 3 years. I am playing rise of the ronin, ghost of Tsushima and horizon forbidden west STILL. And it’s just micro chunks of each at a time.
I don’t praise the PS plus offerings either because of the same conundrum. I can also buy 6 games throughout the year for the same cost of both subscriptions combined with no time limit,
For me it’s not about being broke, it’s about time management. I work 5 days a week in an office, I get maybe 4 hours end of day those 5 days to balance time with my family and play a game or watch a show,
The subscription life for games don’t fit these windows for me. And that’s why I said SUREif you WANT ALL of those games. But not everyone does, some of us are cool with the 4-5 on the list we want and maybe even waiting for a sale.
im glad it has the success it deserves.
Glad as well. Turn Based RPG's still have a place in the games industry.
Awesome! I got my copy yesterday. It's great so far! I'm excited to play it more this weekend. I hope it continues to sell well.
1st game i bought at launch date this year 😁
Absolutely deserved and I hope more people will get on board! This is a passion project and it shows! And for a new IP AND a brand new studio it's bloody well done!!
