Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has been a refreshing addition to the gaming industry, proving that even AA titles can find success. Launched on April 24 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, it has sold over one million copies and reached a peak of 121,000 concurrent Steam players. This turn-based RPG shows no signs of slowing down, with lead writer Jennifer Svedberg-Yen recently hinting at likely DLC in the works.
In an Instagram DM shared on NeoGAF, Svedberg-Yen responded to a fan’s DLC inquiry, saying the team is still processing the game’s massive success but would “love to do something more.” She added that, based on the overwhelming positive reception, “chances are good” for DLC. The game’s open-ended world map, The Continent, offers room for new areas, making DLC a natural fit.
The game’s success, despite launching alongside Oblivion Remastered, proves its appeal, with a 93% “Very Positive” Steam rating from 25,000 reviews. Sandfall’s small team of about 30 developers, as noted by IGN, although it has not been offically revealed how many people worked on the game, makes this achievement even more impressive, and their openness to DLC shows they’re listening to fans.
Set in a haunting, Belle Époque-inspired world, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 follows the members of Expedition 33 on a quest to defeat the Paintress, a mysterious entity who awakens yearly to paint a number on her monolith, erasing everyone of that age. This year, the number is 33, signaling a dire mission for the team. The game blends turn-based combat with real-time mechanics, allowing players to dodge, parry, and counter while chaining combos and targeting enemy weak points.
