- Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 director has revealed Sandfall’s next game could switch genres.
- Guillaume Broche insisted that he doesn’t want to restrict his team to one art style or story.
- Hence, he is yet to decide what pattern the studio’s next game will follow, and it could be an RPG.
2025 has had a lot of hit indie video games, but by far the most coveted of them all has been Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The game has sold over 5 million copies around the globe and has also earned acclaim from every corner of the industry, with many hailing it as the Game of the Year.
Of course, with such resounding success, many players want a sequel to the RPG, and developer Sandfall Interactive has teased this follow-up multiple times. However, if the game’s director is to be trusted, the studio’s next game could be very different.
Why This Matters: In a time where creative endeavours are of less importance than revenue, it’s nice to see a studio push creative bounds in the industry.
“We don’t want to be constrained by story, art style or gameplay in whatever we want to make next.”
In a new interview with The Washington Post, creative director Guillaume Broche stated that he doesn’t want Sandfall Interactive to be constrained by genres, so he isn’t sure if the studio’s next game will be an RPG or not.
The Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 director emphasized that whatever the studio makes will be authentic and filled with love. However, he doesn’t want its nature to be set in stone, as his small team would be restricted to a certain art style, story, or gameplay.
Brauche didn’t rule out making his next title an RPG like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, but made it very clear that the genre of Sandfall’s next game could switch genres.
This artistic vision is the exact reason Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 sold out in stores and even got acclaim from the French President.
Sandfall has also previously stated that they have several ideas for a sequel, and with new content coming to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, there is some time before these plans get revealed.
