"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Hits 1M Sales in 3 Days"

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has achieved remarkable success, with publisher Kepler Interactive announcing sales surpassing one million copies. This debut RPG from developer Sandfall Interactive initially sold 500,000 copies within just 24 hours of its launch, and has now impressively 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 important to note 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 was likely much higher, indicating its widespread appeal.

In IGN's 9/10 review of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the game was hailed as a "modern RPG classic." Developed by the newly established Sandfall Interactive, this turn-based RPG draws significant inspiration from genre classics. The narrative follows a group of Expeditioners in a post-apocalyptic setting, where a giant entity known as The Paintress annually etches a new number, erasing anyone older than it. The game's storyline centers on joining this crew on their mission to travel across the continent and ultimately destroy The Paintress.
