Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 News

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 is now cheaper than ever before - but not for long

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a cinematic masterpiece complete with an original narrative, beautiful aesthetics, a powerfully cathartic soundtrack, and a combat system that oozes Persona 5. It was the first game from developer Sandfall Interactive, and it's left me hungry to see what it'll do next. Of course, if you haven't played it yet, you should absolutely change that as quickly as possible, and now would be a good time to do so, as Fanatical is selling it for less than $40 (for just a couple of days).

Clair Obscur Expedition 33 dev says its team "is just the right size" for an RPG

Smash-hit RPG Clair Obscur Expedition 33 has made a lot of waves this year, primarily for its enchanting story, mesmerizing style, and flowing, punchy combat. But there's also been a lot of talk around the size of developer Sandfall Interactive, which boasts a relatively small headcount compared to big, triple-A studios. In the wake of such a broadly positive reception, you might expect that team to expand, but Sandfall's co-founder and Expedition 33's lead programmer says he thinks it's exactly where it needs to be.
