"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Surpasses 1 Million Sales in 3 Days"

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has achieved remarkable success, selling over a million copies as announced by its publisher, Kepler Interactive. The debut RPG from developer Sandfall Interactive initially surged to 500,000 copies sold within just 24 hours of its launch, and it has now doubled that figure.

"And here we are. Three days after launch. One million copies sold. Thank you for believing in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33," the studio said on social media over the weekend.

It's worth noting that concurrent player records do not reflect the total player base. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was also released on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series X and S, and was available on day one through the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription. This suggests that the actual number of players engaging with the game over the weekend is likely much higher, indicating its widespread popularity.

In IGN's 9/10 review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, it was praised as a "modern RPG classic." Developed by the newly formed studio Sandfall Interactive, this turn-based RPG draws heavy inspiration from genre classics. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic world where a giant being known as The Paintress annually etches a new number, erasing anyone older than it. Players join a crew of Expeditioners on a mission to travel to the continent's edge and destroy The Paintress.
