While a new RPG from an untested developer might give most a moment or two for pause, how many of them look this good?

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a turn-based RPG taking place within a lavish Belle Époque setting, with a central cast portrayed by the beloved likes of Charlie Cox, Andy Serkis, and Ben Starr.

Our band of heroes team up to take down the Paintress, a God-like mega-villain with the unique ability to kill everyone whose age she draws in the sky - a power she's using to progressively cull the human race. That's... wild.

For starters, this is one hell of a gorgeous game coming from a no-name dev team, and for players frustrated with the AAA industry's wider move away from turn-based combat, its placement here is the icing on a very pretty cake.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 releases sometime in 2025.
