Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 ‘Thank You’ Update Adds New Dungeon, Boss Battles, and a Photo Mode Worthy of The Paintress
Sandfall Interactive released a large free update adding new zones, music, boss battles, and features to thank players after winning nine Game Awards, including Game of the Year.
- This year Sandfall Interactive released a free 'Thank You' update for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 after its Game of the Year win at The Game Awards, rolling it out across platforms.
- This year Sandfall Interactive swept The Game Awards with nine wins, accepting many prizes despite the French indie studio's team size and reported cost under $10,000,000.
- Accessing the new island on the Continent map requires players to reach Act 3 and unlock Esquie's underwater ability to find Verso's Draft southeast of Lumiere via the Endless Tower.
- Players and fans of Clair Obscur gain extensive new content from the free update, which was made on a reported $10,000,000 budget, compared to $250,000,000 for modern triple‑A titles.
- Industry observers note half the Game of the Year nominees were labelled indie, while The Game Awards' voting body polls over 150 international media outlets and weighs an online voting system as one‑tenth of the final score.
