Sandfall Interactive and Kepler Interactive announced today that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has sold over 5 million copies worldwide.
Additionally, the game’s emotional soundtrack, composed by Lorien Testard, has over 333 million track streams across digital music platforms since its release, spending over 10 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Classical & Classical Crossover Album charts within that timeframe, and even reached No. 1 on iTunes Top 100 Albums Chart in nine different countries, including within France, the home of the Montpellier-based game studio. An impressive list of accolades, especially considering the game’s been out less than a year.
To celebrate these impressive milestones, Sandfall Interactive and Kepler Interactive have today teased a new game update is currently in development for all platforms that will include several additions and updates as a ‘Thank You’ to the fans that have supported the game since release. Within the upcoming major game update, players can look forward to:
- A new, playable environment, taking the characters of Expedition 33 to a brand-new location with new enemy encounters and surprises to discover.
- Challenging, new boss battles for late-game players to overcome.
- New costumes for each member of the Expedition, giving even more customization options for players throughout their adventure.
- New text and UI game localizations into Czech, Ukrainian, Latin American Spanish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Thai and Indonesian, bringing the total number of supported languages to 19.
Guillaume Broche, Creative Director of Expedition 33 at Sandfall Interactive, said:
“The response to our game has been nothing short of incredible. We spent years working on our dream project, and to know it has resonated with fans around the world in such a powerful way is both wonderful and overwhelming. We’re so grateful to our fans for their love of the world we created, for sharing their own fan art and music covers, for wearing their best Baguette cosplays to conventions, and for being incredibly supportive of our game. We hope the update we’re working on will act as a ‘thank you’ to those fans for their support – please be patient while our team work hard on bringing you something worth the wait.”
