Square Enix и Sandfall Interactive устроили коллаборацию, в рамках которой дизайнеры Final Fantasy VII Remake и Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 нарисовали персонажей друг друга — Тэцуя Номура изобразил Густава и Маэль в своём фирменном стиле, а Николя Максон-Франкомб по-новому показал Клауда и Айрис.
If you had told me that a debut double-A game from a studio of largely unknown developers would be one of the biggest contenders for the Game of the Year awards in 2025, as well as one of the best RPGs ever made, I would've laughed. But 2025's been quite the year, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is not your average game. If you haven't played Sandfall's masterpiece yet, or have been holding out for a sale, I've got great news: you can grab it for its lowest ever price over on Loaded right now.

Создатель Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Наоки Хамагути присоединился к списку деятелей индустрии, которые считают Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 лучшей игрой 2025 года. Сотрудник Square Enix поддержал коллег из студии Sandfall Interactive и выразил уверенность в том, что именно их игра должна получить заветное звание "ГОТИ 2025".
Live on stage at Summer Game Fest 2025, perhaps the biggest gaming event of the year following E3's demise, Geoff Keighley praised Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 as "a monumental achievement" from a "team of under 30 developers." This was far from the first time that Sandfall's team size had been in discussion following Expedition 33's huge success and rave reviews, which earned it a spot on our best RPGs list. How could such a tiny crew produce something so ambitious and with 'triple-A' grade production values?

В рамках нового интервью разработчик признался, что его студия переживет отсутствие победы в номинациях "Лучшая игра 2025 года" — гораздо важнее поддержка непосредственно аудитории.
