Summary

  • Replacing game characters with mods is common, but one fan is replacing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 party members with Digimon.
  • The Digimon characters surprisingly fit well in the game's surreal landscapes, making for a unique and interesting crossover.
  • While they've only done four so far, Modder HallowSL is seemingly dedicated to replacing all party members with Digimon.

Minor spoilers for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 party members ahead.

Replacing your character with mods is nothing new. Recently, somebody changed Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Henry with Shrek and Mutt with Donkey, and last year, somebody else replaced Silent Hill 2's James with Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' CJ and Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil.

So, while they're nothing new, this next effort deserves to be commended, as one player seems utterly committed to replacing all of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's party members with characters from Digimon.

Over on Nexus Mods, one keen Digimon enthusiast has been replacing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's lead cast with Digimon characters.

Their first replacement came just four days after the game released, with modder HallowSL swapping a handful of Verso's costumes with WarGreymon, and the obsession seemingly spiraled from there.

A couple of days later, on April 30, the lovable Gestral Noco was replaced with ToyAgumon, and two of Maelle's costumes were replaced with Minervamon. Following that, Sciel had her outfits replaced with Dianamon.

Given Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's surrealist world and landscapes, the Digimon characters look like they fit in surprisingly well with their surroundings. They look a little odd next to other Clair Obscur characters, but when they're together, they fit like a glove. Noco, as ToyAgumon, is perfect in this scenario.

Undoubtedly, HallowSL is hard at work creating Digimon versions of the remaining party members, Gustave, Lune, and Monoco, and I can't wait to see what they cook up. I also never knew I needed to hear the wonderful Ben Starr as a Digimon, but it just works. Is there anything this man can't do?

These mods alone make the game worthy of all the wonderful support it's getting.
