Following its record 13 nominations at The Game Awards, Sandfall Interactive's debut RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has won GameSpot's Game of the Year for 2025. Built on a budget under $10 million, it has sold over 5 million copies amid widespread acclaim for its storytelling, combat, and visuals.
The team behind the upcoming RPG The Time I Have Left has pushed back against accusations of copying the hit game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, noting that their core mechanics appeared in public demos years earlier. The studio, Ground, released a statement highlighting demos from 2022 and 2024 that predate Expedition 33's 2025 launch. Despite recent challenges including bankruptcy, the developers continue work on the title.
