Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 DLC Not Ruled Out by Game’s Lead Writer
[summaraize]
While old-school, indie hit RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is nowhere near a short game, especially if you factor in the side missions and optional bosses, could we be getting more content in the form of DLC down the line?
Developer Sandfall Interactive has not officially announced anything yet, but based on the game’s lead writer, it’s not off the table.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 DLC Is a Real Possibility
As part of the game’s massive success, the game’s Lead Writer, Jennifer Svedberg-Yen, took to Instagram to respond to followers on her personal account. One fan (IcePopsicleDragon) asked via DM (direct message) whether any DLC is planned for Expedition 33, and Svedberg-Yen’s reply should make players happy.
Svedberg-Yen replies, “Nothing concrete that I can say at the moment, we’re honestly still just trying to process everything that’s happening. It’s been a lot to take in! We’ve always said if there is strong desire from the players that we would love to do something more, and based on the response so far, I’d say chances are good.”
That’s not a confirmation, but I’m definitely not saying no, either. I gather that at this point, it might be too early for the dev team to think about expansions, as they literally just shipped a game last week. Perhaps they’re busy counting their money due to the game’s tremendous sales success, or, more likely, they’re taking a well-deserved break.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the surprise story of the year so far, an indie studio’s debut game, which is a traditional turn-based RPG, has been embraced by gamers thanks to its story, surprisingly deep gameplay and more. So far, it’s the highest-reviewed game of 2025, and I have no doubt it will win a handful of awards once it’s all said and done. To date, it currently has a 92 average on Metacritic, and a 91 average on Open Critic.
I’m still playing the game and loving every minute of it. I’m not rushing to finish the RPG, as that would be a disservice to the game’s story.
Of note, please don’t share any story spoilers in the comments, and anything related to that will be removed.
Would you want to see earlier expeditions realized as DLC? Or should Sandfall save their energy and work on their next full-fledged project?
