French developer Sandfall Interactive has shared its first-ever game as a team: Expedition 33, a turn-based RPG inspired by JRPG classics and action titles. It was announced for PS5 having debuted at the Xbox Games Showcase, and you can catch a good glimpse in the reveal trailer above.

With Final Fantasy XVI voice actor Ben Starr part of the cast, here's the story setup: «Once a year, the Paintress wakes to paint a cursed number upon her monolith and everyone of that age instantly turns to smoke and fades away. Year by year, that number ticks down. Tomorrow she’ll wake and paint “33.” Join Gustave, and his fellow Expeditioners as they embark on a desperate quest to break the Paintress’ cycle of death once and for all.» The game releases in 2025.

Liam grew up with a PlayStation controller in his hands and a love for Metal Gear Solid. Nowadays, he can be found playing the latest and greatest PS5 games as well as supporting Derby County. That last detail is his downfall.

This was the surprise of the show. So happy it's multiplatform

This was excellent and so, dare I say it, has been the rest of the Xbox showcase.

I half expect PlayStation will be looking nervously at their first party studios contemplating a reactive showcase announcement…

It looks glorious and it's turn based

Best game from the show so far so I'm glad to know it's coming to PS5.

@itsfoz I dont think they will and alot of the games are actually multiplatform.

Its just seems Microsoft put their hands in their pocket and paid for them to be shown.

Just shows this due to mgs being shown off here when it was revealed at playstation and both game fest and state of play were basically indie showcase.

It doesn't really matter though. Ps5 is selling regardless but I think it may slow down if they don't get their act together and pull off showcases like this.

@itsfoz yes it has made Sonys shows look poor in comparison imo.
