Expedition 33, showcased at today's Xbox Developer Direct, is an RPG inspired by JRPGs, emphasizing reactive turn-based combat. Developers Sandfall Interactive revealed a concrete release date of April 24, 2025, and noted their focus on creating a beautiful, interactive world with depth in combat. The narrative explores themes of existential threat, loss, and personal identity, with a blend of lighthearted elements such as teaming up with a troll and an inflatable mount. Over four years in development, the game aims to deliver a rich story and gameplay experience.
In a world like this, how does one stay true to themselves?... It's about internal, and inter-personal conflict as much as it's about combat with big monsters.
The developers have been working on the game's story for four years, so you know the narrative isn't going to come in half-baked.
The game carries a gorgeous, dark, and mature tone, balancing the silly with the serious.
Expedition 33... offers another look at its very Final Fantasy vibes-filled adventure about stopping an artist in Belle Époque France from doing some painting.
