🌟 After the incredible success of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, indie studio Sandfall Interactive has officially confirmed that development has already begun on its next major project — and it’s set to be something “very unique and artsy.”
The news comes just a few months after Expedition 33 became one of the biggest surprise hits of 2025, earning widespread praise for its striking visual art direction, emotional storytelling, and its fresh take on JRPG-inspired turn-based combat. 🎨⚔️
In a recent interview with PCGamesN, Guillaume Broche, the CEO and creative director of Sandfall Interactive, revealed that the team has already started brainstorming and working on concepts for their next full-scale game. According to Broche, the new title will continue the studio’s signature focus on artistic expression and emotional depth rather than chasing mainstream trends.
“We want to stay small and agile,” Broche said. “Our goal is to keep a strong creative vision — a game that feels truly unique and artsy. That’s what defines Sandfall Interactive.”
Despite the studio’s modest size, its impact on the gaming industry has been undeniable. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33’s bold artistic choices and deep narrative quickly made it one of the frontrunners for Game of the Year 2025, standing proudly alongside titles like Hollow Knight: Silksong and Hades II. 🏆
Even as Sandfall turns its attention to the next project, fans of Expedition 33 have plenty to look forward to. The developer recently announced that the game surpassed 5 million copies sold, with a free content update currently in the works. This upcoming patch will reportedly introduce a brand-new environment and several challenging new boss encounters, offering players more reasons to dive back in.
While details about the new project remain under wraps, Broche’s comments suggest that it will once again blur the lines between video games and interactive art — a formula that has made Sandfall Interactive one of the most talked-about indie developers of the decade. ✨
