Sandfall Interactive hints its next game may step beyond RPGs as Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 surpasses 5 million sales
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has become a phenomenon, selling more than 5 million copies and winning over players with its distinctive story and fresh take on the RPG formula. Despite that momentum, the studio behind it is already signaling a creative pivot for what comes next.
In a recent interview, Guillaume Broche explained that Sandfall Interactive doesn’t want to be boxed in by any single genre or style. “We don’t want to be constrained by story, art style or gameplay in whatever we want to make next, so nothing to say. We just want it to feel authentic, and made with love.” It’s a clear message: the next project might not be an RPG at all, and the team is prioritizing authenticity over expectations.
For fans of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, there’s still plenty to look forward to. A sequel is planned, and a major update is on the way that will introduce new features along with an entirely new zone to explore. It’s the kind of support that keeps a successful game thriving while the studio explores fresh ideas.
Sandfall Interactive remains a small, tightly knit team of 33 developers, and that scale informs its approach. Delivering high-quality experiences takes time, so the studio isn’t rushing into announcements or locking itself into a formula. Instead, it’s focusing on thoughtful development and letting creativity lead the way.
The takeaway for players is simple: expect the unexpected. Whether or not the next title is an RPG, Sandfall Interactive is committed to crafting games that feel genuine and carefully made. In the meantime, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 continues to grow with new content, and a sequel is on the horizon—proof that the studio’s breakout hit is just the beginning.
