The game by Sandfall Interactive has received widespread recognition.
At The Game Awards 2025, the highly anticipated Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 set a record — the project by Sandfall Interactive took home nine awards, including "Game of the Year."
French President Emmanuel Macron congratulated the developers on their success:
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has just been recognized as "Game of the Year" in Los Angeles — a historic event for a French project! Great pride for Montpellier and for all of France. Bravo to the Sandfall Interactive teams — for future generations and those who will follow them!
This is not the first time Macron has paid attention to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 — he previously congratulated the game's creators when they sold a million copies.
