Excitement surrounds the upcoming release of **Clair Obscur: Expedition 33** on **April 24, 2025**, but many French fans are disillusioned by the lack of a physical collector’s edition in France. Despite the game’s development by a local studio, editions are available in the UK and Spain, intensifying frustration. The studio acknowledged strong demand but failed to clarify restocking plans for France, leaving players feeling neglected as they await further updates amid ongoing anticipation for new gaming content.
Excitement Builds for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
While French video games may not always capture the global gaming audience, when they do make a splash, it certainly garners attention. One such title, **Clair Obscur: Expedition 33**, is set to release on **April 24, 2025**. This old-school RPG boasts modern graphics, but despite its hype, it has left many French fans feeling disappointed.
Collector’s Edition Controversy: A Major Letdown for Fans
In a surprising move, **Clair Obscur: Expedition 33** will not feature a physical collector’s edition available in France. This shocking announcement was confirmed by **Micromania** via a tweet, leaving many eager players in disbelief. Fans expressed their frustration, questioning why a game developed by a French studio, with a trailer aptly titled ‘Baguette,’ would exclude its own country from such a coveted edition.
To add to the disappointment, collector’s editions have been made available in the **United Kingdom** and **Spain**, both of which are relatively close, with Spain even sharing the same currency. This has only fueled the anger among French players, who feel overlooked without any communication from the developers regarding the situation.
Stock Shortages and Limited Availability
Before the disappointing news broke, the studio had announced on X that their collector’s editions had sold out quickly, without any being allocated for France. The studio acknowledged the strong demand for physical editions and expressed their gratitude for the overwhelming support. They mentioned the challenges of production but did not provide any concrete plans for restocking in France, leaving fans feeling disheartened.
As players eagerly await the next major patch for World of Warcraft, they are reminded to act swiftly, as new limited-time content can vanish just as quickly as it arrives. With the gaming community actively voicing their concerns, it remains to be seen how the developers will respond to the mounting pressure from disappointed fans.
