The French RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has officially sold five million copies across all platforms. That's a fantastic metric for an original IP, even one that has garnered stellar reviews.
Developer Sandfall Interactive is currently prepping a fairly substantial update as a "thank you" to fans, according to a report by Eurogamer. There's no release date yet on this, but it will be free DLC. We also know there will be a new story that focuses on the fan favorite character Esquie.
In April we released Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
5 months later, we’ve sold 5 million copies worldwide!
Since then, your artwork, your stories, your cosplays and your endless creativity has been loved and appreciated by all of us.

The update will include new boss battles, a brand-new location, updated costumes for all party members and "even more surprises fans can look forward to." Finally, there will be some quality-of-life additions and localization to several new languages.
"We want to prepare an update to say a big thank you to our players, because it's thanks to our players that we are in such a comfortable situation now," game director Guillaume Broche said. "They brought us so much emotion and gave us so much love in return for the game that we want to address that and make a big thank you update with new content, new enemies, new stuff to do for every type of player."
For the uninitiated, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a well-regarded RPG that we called "a beautiful game with dramatic heft and satisfying combat." It features some well-known voice actors, including Charlie Cox and Andy Serkis.
