Clair Obscur "Is The Franchise Name" Says Sandfall, As It Stays Coy On What Comes After Expedition 33

"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is an easy contender for that coveted game of the year award, having been received incredibly well by critics and players alike. But as with any breakout success from a brand-new studio, there unfortunately comes an annoying question: What's next? Developer Sandfall Interactive is still staying mostly quiet on that front, but in a recent interview with game director Guillaume Broche, it has been at least confirmed that Expedition 33 will not be the only Clair Obscur game."

""Clair Obscur is the franchise name. Expedition 33 is one of the stories that we want to tell in this franchise. Exactly what it will look like and what the concept will be is still too soon to announce, but what is sure is that this is not the end of the Clair Obscur franchise.""

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 received strong critical and player acclaim and is viewed as a contender for game of the year. Sandfall Interactive confirmed Clair Obscur is intended as a franchise, with Expedition 33 representing one story within a broader series. Specific concepts and future plans are not yet announced. Development timelines and a deliberate choice to keep the team relatively small mean further details will be revealed slowly. The series draws noticeable inspiration from Final Fantasy's anthological approach, leaving open whether future entries will be direct sequels or standalone narratives.
