Clair Obscur Dev Teases Sequel, Says Expedition 33 'Is Not The End'
Briefly

Expedition 33 sold over 3.3 million copies since its April launch and is a frontrunner for Game of the Year. Sandfall Interactive intends to expand Clair Obscur into a franchise, with Expedition 33 identified as one story within a larger umbrella. Future releases could be direct sequels, prequels exploring other numbered expeditions, or an anthology of separate stories. Branching endings in Expedition 33 complicate a straightforward sequel set after the original. An unresolved "outside world" storyline from Act 3 offers additional narrative possibilities for future entries.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of 2025's biggest surprise success stories. Sandfall Interactive's turn-based RPG has gone on to sell more than 3.3 million copies since its launch in April, and is a frontrunner as we head into Game of the Year talks in December. Naturally, Sandfall Interactive is looking to capitalize on all this by making Clair Obscur a full-blown franchise rather than a one-off, as director Guillaume Broche has hinted that it has more stories to tell.
If a sequel is set in the same universe as Expedition 33, it's unlikely that it would take place after the original game. Its branching endings leave that world in two markedly different states, and neither of them screams "sequel bait." Sandfall Interactive might explore any of the other numbered expeditions in a prequel, but we do know how all of those turned out based on the logs they left behind.
