We’re starting to get used to seeing Sandfall Interactive sweep up all (or almost all) the awards at various ceremonies. The French studio has once again shone with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
At the 2026 Game Developers Choice Awards, the RPG won Game of the Year as well as four other awards. Blue Prince got two awards, and Death Stranding 2 also took home a prize.
