Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 set a record by becoming the most nominated game in The Game Awards history — a symbolic achievement for an industry that finally began to recover in 2025 after several difficult years with failed AAA releases. The growing popularity of AA projects and indie games shows: it is courage, creativity, and risk that determine success today. Read more about the nominations on Video Games Chronicle
Record for The Game Awards Nominations
A month before the ceremony, the contenders for "Game of the Year 2025" were announced, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's inclusion in the shortlist surprised no one. Moreover, the project became the absolute record holder for the number of nominations in the entire history of the award.
Strong Competition Didn't Hinder
Even considering the strongest competition — Silksong, Kingdom Come Deliverance 2, and other major games — Clair Obscur is still considered the main favorite.
Nearly Perfect User Ratings
The project received nearly perfect user ratings on Metacritic and in the PlayStation Store, which only confirms the universality of its success. The only disappointment is that the game did not make it to the list of nominees for the Grammy Award.
Sandfall Interactive Prospects
But Sandfall Interactive has many opportunities ahead. A sequel is already in development, and just a few days after release, a contract for a film adaptation was signed. All of this makes the IP one of the most promising gaming universes of the coming years.
