Sandfall Interactive is preparing a new game following the global success of Expedition 33.

After the surprising international impact of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the studio Sandfall Interactive is beginning to shape its next project. Although there are still no confirmed details about the new video game, the creative team leaders have already hinted that there are "promising ideas in development," according to producer François Meurisse.

With more than three million units sold in just one month, the turn-based role-playing title not only exceeded commercial expectations but also positioned the studio as an emerging force within the global gaming industry.

From revelation to established studio

The growth of Sandfall Interactive has been meteoric. Founded five years ago, the France-based studio went from being a young promise to establishing itself as a reference in modern narrative RPGs. Clair Obscur's success marked a turning point.

• The game stood out for its artistic direction, turn-based gameplay, and soundtrack.
• Its immersive narrative caused significant impact on platforms such as Steam and consoles.
• The critical reception was positive both in specialized media and within the gamer community.

"The numbers exceeded our most optimistic forecasts," acknowledged Meurisse, who confirmed that the team is already in the creative phase for an upcoming installment.

A sequel or a new IP?

Although it was not confirmed whether the next game will be a continuation of Expedition 33, rumors are growing. According to reports, Guillaume Broche, director and mind behind the previous title, has several ideas that could be developed in the short term.

"We're considering multiple paths. There are great concepts underway," Meurisse stated, without providing further details. The decision on whether it will be a new intellectual property (IP) or a sequel will depend, in part, on the evolution of the market and the creative team.

High expectations in the community

The gamer community and industry analysts are closely following every step of the studio. Clair Obscur's success also opened new doors for commercial partnerships and international expansion, which reinforces the strength of the moment Sandfall Interactive is experiencing.

In addition to its gameplay, one of the most highly valued elements was the original soundtrack, which received praise for its ability to accompany the game's emotional narrative.

In this new stage, the studio will seek to capitalize on the global attention caused by its first major hit. "This is just the beginning," they state from Sandfall, with their sights set on a future that has already begun to take shape.
