Will the Next Clair Obscur Game Be Another Amazing Tactical Masterpiece?
The game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 made a big splash when it arrived. For many people, it changed how they saw tactical role-playing games (RPGs). It was a fresh and exciting experience that many players loved. After such a wonderful success, the big question on everyone’s mind was, “What will they do next?” Now, we have an answer.
The director of the game has shared some exciting news. He said that Expedition 33 is just the first part of a bigger story. The name of this new series, or franchise, is Clair Obscur. This means the developers, Sandfall Interactive, are planning to make more games set in the same world. The next game might tell a brand new story and may not be a direct continuation of Expedition 33.
A New Kind of Challenge
Expedition 33 combined many great ideas from other games and added its own unique twists. Its success comes from a mix of excellent combat, a moving story, and beautiful art and music. The director, Guillaume Broche, joked that even before Expedition 33 was released, they were already thinking about how to make an even better game next.
What made the game so special?
Active Combat
Unlike many RPGs where you just pick a move and watch, this game requires you to be active. You have to time your button presses to parry or dodge enemy attacks in real-time. This makes every fight feel intense and engaging.
Skill Over Stats
A skilled player can defeat very powerful enemies by perfectly dodging and parrying attacks. Your ability to react is just as important as your character’s level.
Constant Focus
The combat system demands your full attention. You cannot look away during an enemy’s turn because you always need to be ready to defend yourself.
Rewarding Gameplay
Successfully parrying an enemy’s attack combo is difficult but feels incredibly satisfying. It often allows you to strike back immediately.
The Future of the Franchise
Mr. Broche has confirmed that this is “not the end of the Clair Obscur franchise”. He is already working on ideas for the next story. He wants the next chapter to feel new and sincere, without being too influenced by the success of the first game.
Interestingly, the studio does not plan to get much bigger. Mr. Broche believes a smaller, agile team can still create amazing games that compete with huge productions. This approach helped them keep the price of Expedition 33 lower than many other big games. Fans are now hopeful and excited to see where the world of Clair Obscur will take them next.
