If you told Sandfall Interactive that its debut title, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, went on to win every major Game of the Year award, it probably wouldn’t believe you. Nevertheless, that’s what happened, and in the first year of its release, the acclaimed RPG has sold eight million copies. Not bad, especially when some believed it would be overshadowed by The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered‘s launch.
To celebrate, the developer has released a new minor update which adds first anniversary haircuts for all party members. You can pick up Gustave’s at the Stone Wave Cliffs from the Gestral Merchant, while Verso, Maelle, Lune, Monoco and Sciel can find theirs at the merchant near Grosse Tête.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, and yes, it’s still playable on Game Pass, which is a fantastic deal. Check out our review, where we gave it a 9 out of 10 for its excellent combat, storytelling, presentation, exploration, the list goes on. Sandfall would release several updates, with the biggest being “Thank You,” which added a new region, end-game bosses, weapons, outfits and more.
As for the studio’s next project, it wants to focus on “what we think is cool” and trusting its instincts, per lead writer Jennifer Svedberg-Yen.
Congratulations to Sandfall Interactive on reaching such an impressive milestone with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33! Achieving 8 million sales in just a year is a fantastic accomplishment.
