Expedition 33’s sweep of every GOTY award was an astonishing coup

But for a while there, in the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London’s South Bank on a warm Friday evening, it seemed like an upset was on the cards. Category after category, Clair Obscur kept losing. Artistic Achievement went to Death Stranding 2. Performer in a Supporting role, where Expedition 33 had two nominees, went to Dispatch‘s Jeffrey Wright. Game Design went to Blue Prince. Music and Narrative — categories Clair Obscur had dominated at every other awards ceremony — respectively went to Ghost of Yōtei and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
