The sensational Clair Obscur Expedition 33 will be presented in 12 nominations at The Game Awards 2025. For comparison, Baldur's Gate 3 had only 7 nominations.
Publishing Director of Larian Studios, Michael Douse, appreciated the success of the Sandfall Interactive studio:
There is something incredibly inspiring about a new IP [intellectual property] created by a young team and belonging to a \"dead genre,\" especially when [the game] not only exceeds all the wildest sales forecasts, but also receives the most nominations in TGA history.
According to Michael, the gaming industry is a "large empty space waiting for the next [Expedition 33] to fill it," so he encourages other developers to continue to boldly create and present their own ideas:
Perhaps this [new \"Expedition 33\"] will be your game! Don't chase trends - just create something of your own, and think about fame later.
