Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has been the biggest standout success of the industry this year.
Between shining reviews and impressive sales at release, the game has shattered every expectation possible. In fact, the RPG has even earned praise from the French president.
Why it matters: The recognition highlights how Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is transcending the typical boundaries of gaming. Much like Black Myth: Wukong became a source of pride for all of China, Sandfall Interactive’s work is becoming a huge deal for France.

This was followed up by praise from the game’s publisher, Kepler Interactive. The publisher also commented on the RPG’s release date coinciding with Bethesda’s launch of Oblivion Remastered, a re-release of one of the finest RPGs produced by the industry to date.
Kepler Interactive commended Xbox for its solid marketing, which did wonders for the game. As for Oblivion Remastered, the publisher understood that Japanese-style and Western RPGs appeal to two different audiences.
Therefore, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 did not suffer due to releasing at the same time as Bethesda’s latest remaster.
Because the entire industry seems to be impressed by Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, perhaps the RPG will also inspire other French developers to channel their creativity into similarly stunning gaming experiences in the future.
