"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Developers Announce New Game Project"

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's Continued Success

The Promise of a New Game

The remarkable success of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has significantly transformed the trajectory of its developer, Sandfall Interactive. As a French-based studio, the game's popularity has opened doors to numerous opportunities, including the development of a brand-new title. In a recent interview with GamesIndustry.biz on May 27, François Meurisse, COO and Producer at Sandfall Interactive, confirmed their plans for the future.

"Of course, there will be another video game," Meurisse shared, expressing his excitement about exploring the creative ideas the team has been developing. He added, "I’m eager to dive deeper into the concepts we've been nurturing for our next project."

The journey of creating Expedition 33 has equipped the team with invaluable experience and enhanced skillsets. Many members who joined as juniors during the project now possess a deep understanding of collaborative development. Meurisse noted, "We’ve grown significantly since starting the company five years ago. Our upcoming project will benefit from this progress, though it also raises the bar for our expectations. Still, with Guillaume at the helm, we’re confident in our vision."

While details remain scarce regarding the nature of this new game—whether it will be a direct sequel or a fresh intellectual property—it’s clear that the studio is poised for exciting ventures ahead. Fans are also hopeful for potential downloadable content (DLC) for Expedition 33. Earlier this month, Jennifer Svedberg-Yen, the game's Lead Writer, hinted at the possibility of an expansion, further fueling anticipation.

A Record-Breaking Milestone

In another impressive feat, Sandfall Interactive celebrated the incredible sales figures of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. On May 27, the studio proudly tweeted (on X) that the game had reached 3.3 million copies sold in just 33 days.

The announcement read, "Seriously. As of today. We couldn’t make that up. Another entry on the long list of surreal moments that your support has made real. Thank you ALL."

This achievement underscores the game's sustained popularity and highlights its growing fanbase worldwide.
