Pix'n Love have now officially announced L'art de Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The book was already listed online, but now the publisher has unveiled the book with the final cover art and details for a collector's edition too.
The book will showcase the artwork behind the game from developer Sandfall Interactive, who despite being a small studio, have found themselves being recognised industry wide after launching the critically acclaimed game. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is considered by many to be one of the best games of the generation, with high praise for its story and interactive turn-based combat. It made sense then that this would get an artbook due to its popularity and was even featured on my list of Artbook Predictions for 2025 Video Games.
The Amazon product page may have been pre-emptive, so it wasn't reported here as there was no indication that the details were correct. Now though, the French publisher has confirmed this is the listing is for the book and the date of December 5th was correct, but we now know the book will have 320 pages, more than previously detailed.
The book will feature hundreds of pieces of art for the characters, environments, weapons, and more. It will also include insights from the development team through interviews with Sandfall Interactive, offering an in-depth look at the making of the game that many players will want to learn about.
An Alicia Collector's Edition of the book will also be available to pre-order with the following extras;
A cardboard box with cutting, luxury finish.Â
A gold metal medal.
A cardboard folder including 10 lithographs on textured paper.Â
A numbered metal plate.
Dedicated packaging.Â
Pre-orders for the book go live on Thursday and can be placed on the Pix'n Love website, though this is for the French edition. Find their website here and watch their announcement video for the Alicia Collector's Edition below.
Pix'n Love have released artbooks in the past, but notably the last two came with text in both English and French. These were for The Art of Dordogne and The Art of Jusant: The Great Expedition, both authored by Marine Macq. She is also the author on this upcoming release too and spent time with the developers to work on the book. However, this one is not a bilingual and currently only available in French.
However, fans of the game that don't speak the native language of the team behind Expedition 33 will still be able to enjoy the book soon too. The English account for the publisher has confirmed via X that the book will be translated into multiple languages, with their partners to be announced soon for these publications. The game was a huge success, so it makes sense that this would be made available in multiple markets.
Pix'n Love artbooks have been well made and have a high print quality as expected too. Previously the downside has been the import costs, as shipping everywhere has spiked significantly, even when sending a short distance from France to the UK. But those that are able to get their titles won't be let down by what they receive. It's possible that the translated editions of the book for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will be sold from more locations as well to circumvent this. To get an idea of what they have produced before, you can read a review of their last artbook release, The Art of Jusant: The Great Expedition here.
Future updates for the book, including news on translated editions will be reported here, as well as a review and previews when the English edition of L'art de Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is published.
