Expedition 33 won Game of the Year at The Game Awards. But it also won Best RPG — and it shouldn't have, against Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.

Over time, many of these very players found builds built upon this foundation that essentially cracked the game wide open again and trivialized most of these encounters. With Expedition 33's celebratory DLC though, Sandfall Interactive has seemingly crafted a challenge befitting of the very high-end of players.

Expedition 33 from Sandfall Interactive has won the hearts of players, becoming this year's biggest third-party launch on Xbox Game Pass.

Xbox announced Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was the biggest new third-party game launch on Xbox Game Pass for 2025.

Deliverance 2 have reacted to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 beating the RPG in three categories at The Game Awards.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a mouthful of a title, but one befitting a majestic RPG. Developed by French studio Sandfall Interactive, Expedition 33 is an epic tale of grief, hope, and romantic adventure set in a world dripping with lore. Expedition 33 is a rare title that manages to do everything right and also get the credit it deserves.
