Clair Obscur Expedition 33 stripped of IGA's Game of the Year gong as its generative AI use comes under inspection
It's safe to say Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has been this year's biggest winner, sweeping awards shows across the board including a record number of victories at The Game Awards 2025. But the Indie Game Awards has just retracted the two prizes it had given Sandfall Interactive's surrealist RPG, following renewed discussions around the studio's use of generative AI tools during the development process. Both the Debut Game and overall Game of the Year awards have now been given to new recipients in its place.
