Kepler Interactive and developer Sandfall Interactive have released the third character trailer for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The trailer introduces Monoco, the Gestral. “Friendly yet bloodthirsty, he, like all Gestrals, thrives on the thrill of battle. To him, combat is meditation, and he can’t resist a duel—even with friends.” Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will launch on April 24 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam and Epic Games Store. Pre-orders for the game are available now. The game will also be available on Xbox Game Pass.
The character’s description:
Meet Monoco, the Gestral. Friendly yet bloodthirsty, he, like all Gestrals, thrives on the thrill of battle. To him, combat is meditation, and he can’t resist a duel—even with friends. Untouched by the Paintress, his only real reason for joining the expedition is the same drive that compels him to do most things: the love of a good fight.
Monoco possesses a unique ability—he collects the feet of Nevrons, absorbing their skills and transforming into them during battle. One of the few Gestrals who can speak the human language, his surprisingly scholarly manner contrasts with his clumsy, rough-edged demeanor.
The game’s details:
