The latest Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 patch is now live.
Great news Expeditioners, patch 1.4.0 for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is available for you all. It brings with it new features, quality of life improvements and some fixes for some buggy achievements / trophies.
As a self-confessed achievement whore, I’m always glad to see fixes for potentially buggy achievements. Nothing can sour a game more than not being able to get that sweet 1000G or Platinum trophy. Especially ones tied to collectibles. So great to see fixes for a few collectibles-related ones. So good news if you’ve been having trouble with the “Expeditioner”, “Trailbreaker”, “Connosiuer”, or “Follow the Trail achievements / trophies.
Not only that but they’ve now added “one of our most requested features” the ‘Battle Retry’ option is now available. After you’ve been defeated a new prompt will appear to allow you to retry that battle, rather than returning to it from a save point.
You can check out the full patch notes below.
