Unsurprisingly, Another Game From Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Dev Is Coming

But Sandfall Interactive's chief operating officer is staying vague about whether that's a sequel or something entirely new.

This is what you might describe as a no-brainer: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 maker Sandfall Interactive plans to make another video game. However, the developer isn't saying exactly what that next title might be, though noting there are already "great ideas."

Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, Sandfall chief operating officer and producer François Meurisse discussed the developer's future. "There will be another video game, for sure," Meurisse said. The executive wasn't ready to announce specifics necessarily, which makes sense considering Clair Obscur launched only just over a month ago. But he did say the team's experience from making the RPG will be beneficial going forward.

"Plus the team has grown up, has acquired new skills throughout production," said Meurisse. "Many of them were junior when we started. We learned to work together. So I can't wait to get to the next project, because we'll start from a more efficient position than when we started the company five years ago. And that [comes] with higher expectations as well, so it will be challenging. But I can say that we have--and Guillaume [Broche, Sandfall CEO and creative director] in particular has--great ideas for the next game."

Broche reportedly came up with the idea for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 while bored working at Ubisoft in 2020. So it's probably not shocking that the game's director has some other plans in mind.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 sold 2 million copies in 12 days. Meurisse admitted they never expected this type of success as the RPG "smashed our forecasts pretty fast." In addition, the game's soundtrack has been a hit, too.

Clair Obscur was really good, until the 3rd act completely ruined the story for me.

@stickemup: Understandable. I felt a similar way for a bit where it felt like everything was now pointless, but then I thought about it some more and I essentially chose to think like Maelle, not wanting to let go of my immersion, not wanting to let go of my belief that the painting and everything in it mattered. I already cared about the world before that point, now I just had to care about it from Maelle's perspective. Then I went back in and finished all the optional content, leveled to 99, got all the achievements and thoroughly enjoyed it.
