Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Celebrates GOTY Win with Free DLC

The developers of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 are celebrating their massive Game of the Year victory at The Game Awards by giving something back to the community — a free DLC expansion now available across all platforms.

Released on December 12, the update serves as a thank-you to players following the game’s record-breaking performance at TGA, where it secured nine awards, officially becoming the most successful title in the event’s history. Rather than a symbolic update, the studio delivered meaningful content, including new areas to explore, tougher endgame challenges, deeper customization, and several long-requested quality-of-life improvements.

Free DLC Highlights

The standout addition is Verso’s Drafts, a completely new playable zone added to the World Map near Lumiere. Players can access it starting in Act 3, though reaching the area requires Esquie’s underwater traversal ability. It’s designed specifically for late-game progression and offers fresh encounters beyond the main storyline.

Endgame players will also find new challenges waiting in the Endless Tower, which now includes:

• Harder versions of iconic boss fights
• Newly added Luminas
• Additional weapons tailored for advanced builds

These additions significantly raise the difficulty ceiling for experienced players looking for tougher content.

Customization & Accessibility Upgrades 🎨

Customization received a notable expansion, giving players more freedom both visually and strategically:

• New costumes for every Expedition member
• A fully featured Photo Mode, accessible directly from the pause menu
• The new Lumina Sets system, allowing players to save up to 50 loadouts for instant strategy switching

These features make experimenting with builds and capturing in-game moments easier than ever.

Quality-of-Life Improvements 🛠️

The update also delivers several practical enhancements aimed at smoothing the overall experience. Players can now:

• Exit battles mid-fight
• Remap controller inputs
• Adjust HUD scaling
• Navigate menus more easily thanks to improved UI filters

Completionists weren’t forgotten either — the “Old Key” quest item found in the final area now gives players another opportunity to collect all journals within a single playthrough.

Available Now for Free ✅

The DLC is live now on all platforms and can be downloaded at no cost. Whether you’re returning after the GOTY buzz or jumping in for the first time, this update adds substantial value and cements Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 as one of the standout releases of the year.
