Expedition 33 Have a Canon Ending?

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has two distinct endings, and neither of them is canon. Which is good, as it doesn’t lock the franchise to one true ending. Every player can have a unique experience, and doesn’t have to do extra things to get the true ending.

However, there is a teeny tiny little problem, neither of them is easy to digest. If you haven’t finished the game, you shouldn’t go forward beyond this point, as there are minor spoilers. You can read through it once you finish it. Alternatively, you can use this piece as a reference to pick which one.

The ending of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is just as intended

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has a lot of ups and downs in the story, just like Esquie states them as Wees and Woos. The same applies to the ending of the game as well, as it asks the player to make a hard choice. Basically, it’s about choosing between Verso and Maelle for the ending.

Guillaume Broche sat down with two French YouTubers (Joueur du Grenier) for an interview of sorts with two other members of Sandfall Entertainment. During which the YouTubers expressed their views on the ending, as it seems like the Verso ending is the good ending. However, Broche clarified the doubt regarding the ending.

According to Broche, he didn’t want the story to have a jolly ending, as he wanted a bit of debate. To him, good stories have multiple layers to them, instead of being ****** and white. He tried to move beyond the compass of good and evil, which makes players think.

It’s not just the YouTubers who feel that way, but rather the members of Sandfall Interactive feel the same. Some of the members also think Verso is a “piece of trash,” while others think he’s a hero. It showcases that the idea behind the ending did work out.

What do fans think about the ending of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33?

The fans are divided when it comes to sharing their thoughts on the ending of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. While it may seem that the Maelle ending is negative, it isn’t the case. There is a depth to it that many can ignore by sticking to morals or favoritism.

Regardless, people appreciate the writing and their thoughts about making the endings. There is no clear good ending; rather, it’s bittersweet. It leaves players to think and analyse the game’s storyline and the theme it portrays. Just like a piece of art, which is subjective to all.

Still, there are some complaints regarding the storyline. Some feel that the game should have built upon the themes more to shape the idea better. Maybe setting up characters like Maelle, Verso, and Renoir could have impacted people more. Otherwise, the story feels vague during Act 3 of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Some didn’t like the ending at all. During the interview, it was revealed that Alain Damasio’s novel La Horde du Contrevent had been taken for inspiration. This follows the same idea about the grand twist in the end, which is pretty apparent at the beginning of the game. Yet, these opinions are always subjective.
