A new update for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has been released, bringing several improvements.
Patch 1.4.0 introduces the “Battle Retry” option, allowing you to immediately restart any combat encounter after defeat. Developer Sandfall Interactive states this was “one of the most requested quality-of-life additions”.
Additionally, the update implements a minor yet significant UI adjustment by clearly marking the Lumina cost of your Pictos while navigating the Pictos menu.
Finally, the official patch notes hint at the future: “Thank you all for your continued support of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33! Of course, there’s more to come…”
See the full patch notes below (via official website).
