Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has two distinct endings. The ending you get depends on a critical choice made immediately before the final battle, where you must decide to side with either Maelle or Verso and fight as one of them.

• Maelle's ending : Choosing Maelle leads to an ending where the painted world (the Canvas) survives, but at a personal cost. Maelle wants to stay in the Canvas, viewing those inside it as her family.
• Verso's ending : Choosing Verso results in an ending that emphasizes acceptance and moving on from the illusion of the Canvas, encouraging Maelle to face reality.

Neither ending is strictly good or bad; both carry emotional weight and reflect themes of sacrifice, grief, and coping with loss. The choice is more about which resolution resonates more with the player than morality. After finishing the game, you can reload the save before the final choice to experience the other ending if desired

. In summary:

• Number of endings: 2
• Determined by: Final battle choice (Maelle vs. Verso)
• No other endings or secret conclusions exist
• Choices throughout the game do not affect the ending, only the final decision matters
• Both endings are narratively meaningful and thematic alternatives

This design encourages players to explore both outcomes to fully appreciate the story's depth.
