Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Devs Already Have Ideas for Next Exciting Game

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 currently has an “Overwhelmingly Positive” user rating on Steam, with over 60,000 reviews. The game has been seen as a return for AA games, although it did generate some controversy about a seemingly false claim that it only had a development team of about thirty people. Regardless, it seems natural that the developer, Sandfall Interactive, would start work on a new game as soon as possible. In an interview with Gamesindustry.biz, Sandfall’s COO François Meurisse stated that “There will be another video game for sure . . . I can’t wait to dig more into the ideas we already have for the next game.”

Will the Next Game be A Clair Obscur Sequel?

It seems that the obvious route for the developers to take would be to make a sequel to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. After all, the game was a massive hit, and fans would undoubtedly like to explore its world more. A sequel would also bring in plenty of money. Meurisse stated that studio head Guillaume Broche has “great ideas for the next game,” but said nothing about whether or not it was a sequel. Broche was “deliberately avoiding chasing trends” during Clair Obscur‘s development, so perhaps Sandfall’s next game won’t be chasing sequel trends. In an industry largely overrun by huge franchises, perhaps Sandfall can deliver some more refreshing original titles.

Conclusion

Whether Sandfall’s next game ends up being a sequel to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 or an original title, the expectations will undoubtedly be high. This could end up being a blessing or a curse, since gamers might raise their expectations too high and then be disappointed when their unrealistic expectations are not met. Still, the team at Sandfall is dedicated to quality and passion, so we can expect that their next game will be full of the same passion that made Clair Obscur connect with people.
