How long is Clair Obscur Expedition 33? Sandfall Interactive's debut title shoots for the stars with a cinematic adventure that wouldn't look out of place alongside triple-A prestige games popularized by Sony. This combination of high ambitions and low budget means the Clair Obscur Expedition 33 story length has become the subject of rabid speculation.
We put those rumors to rest with full confirmation of how long it'll take to beat the fantasy game with our own recorded playtime, backed up by the development studio itself.

How long is Clair Obscur Expedition 33?
Clair Obscur Expedition 33 takes around 30-35 hours to beat the main story, while a completionist playthrough takes over 60 hours.
These estimates are based on our own complete playthrough of Expedition 33. Sandfall Interactive backs up this estimate on their official social channels. "When you play Expedition 33, you can expect 30+ hours of main game, and as much side content for our completionist Expeditioners," it posted on Twitter/X.
In Ken's Clair Obscur Expedition 33 Gamescom preview, creative director Guillame Broche explains that the exact length of time it takes to beat Expedition 33 depends on your playstyle, though "it won't be as short as ten hours nor will it reach up to 100." This scale is reflected in the Clair Obscur pricing, which is notably cheap for an RPG game that's this ambitious.
The time it takes to beat Clair Obscur also depends on your preferred difficulty level. Expert Mode will demand more time crafting the best Clair Obscur builds to overcome challenges. Conversely, the narrative-focused Story Mode should let you sail through with the best Clair Obscur weapons.
