Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is being considered by many players as a contender for Game of the Year – and it has a good chance of winning. Now, the developers are celebrating a special milestone with a major update.
What is this milestone? Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has sold a total of 5 million copies worldwide since its release in April 2025. This was announced by Sandfall Interactive, the development studio behind the RPG hit, on the official website of the game (www.expedition33.com).
“In April we released Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. 5 months later, we’ve sold 5 million copies worldwide! We’ve been completely blown away by the constant support from so many of you – Your artwork, your stories, your cosplays and your endless creativity has been loved and appreciated by all of us,” the developers say.
As a thank you, Sandfall is now announcing a major update for the RPG.
New location and fresh enemies for strong players
What is this update? The promised update will deliver, among other things, new content and additional languages for the user interface. The update is set to be released for all platforms on which the game is available. According to the developers, it includes:
- A new, playable environment – with new enemies and “surprises to discover”
- Challenging new boss fights for players in the later game stages
- New costumes for every member of the expedition
- New text and UI localizations in Czech, Ukrainian, Latin American Spanish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Thai, and Indonesian
- And even more unannounced innovations
In an interview with Eurogamer, Director Guillaume Broche clarifies that players should not expect a “huge DLC expansion with hours of content,” but explains: “There is plenty to do and collect … [and] some improvements that the community has been asking for very strongly.”
When is the update coming? A release date for the update is currently not known.
The year 2025 was filled with games that deserve the title “Game of the Year.” It’s quite difficult to choose a winner. However, MyMMO author Cortyn states: No matter which game becomes Game of the Year – we all won this time
