The next character for the Expedition is finally here with a bigger warrior here for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
The fight carries on in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and now we have a good look at one of the characters that will be doing a lot of the physical damage along the way. At least this is all based on the description that Sandfall Interactive has given us for Sciel in the game and the gameplay we have to look at for them. They are listed as the Serene Warrior in the bunch, so it should be safe to assume all of that. Unless the description for warrior means something else for Expedition 33. Thankfully, we do not have to wait until April 24th to get that full answer on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC as we can see some of this in motion just a little lower down the page here in the latest gameplay for the game too.
All of that speculation and talk is put to rest here with Sciel, as we do get to see that they are swinging all manner of large weapons in the mix for Expedition 33 and not using much in the way of magic. Unless you really want to count the way some of the animations play out to give it more of that anime feel instead of being grounded with it all. What is surprising to see, though, is that Sciel may be the more combat-ready fighter in the bunch, but also looks to be the more gentle or open-minded from the rest of the team in Expedition 33. All of that is based on the fact that when confronted with a massive enemy here, Sciel offers a handout instead of a fist and it seems to work better. That or this is just part of the story that we do not fully understand as of now and maybe Sciel bested them in combat so long ago. Have a look and be the judge for yourself.

Explore the gameplay and motivations of the key members of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 as they set the course to destroy the Paintress so she may never paint death again.
Meet Sciel, the Cheerful and Serene Warrior. A farmer turned teacher, Sciel is warm and outgoing, enjoying life day by day.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will release on April 24, 2025, on Playstation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Steam, and Epic Games Store.
Is this the kind of fighter you were looking for in Expedition 33 or does it feel like we should have had a gruffer character instead? Will all of this make more sense in the story or is this just a way for the developer to not lean into the usual tropes when it comes to fighter characters? How do you think the rest of the crew will handle all of this and will it still be the whole found family aspect that we always see out there? Head on down to the comment section to discuss all of this and everything else that we have to offer up out there. When there is more for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, we will share it here with you. Be sure to keep on popping in to see and hear about all of that as it flows out there. We will not fight you on any of that at all.
