Clair Obscur May Be a Universe, Not Just a Single Game

[johnblockbuster]

Although details about Sandfall’s next title remain scarce, studio leadership has hinted that Clair Obscur is intended to be a broader franchise rather than a one-off release. Expedition 33 was always envisioned as just one story within a larger universe, opening the door for future games that may explore new characters, themes, or timelines.

What’s clear is that Sandfall isn’t rushing. The studio has said it doesn’t plan to expand significantly in size, believing its current team is ideal for building ambitious turn-based RPGs. Given that Expedition 33 took five to six years to develop, the next entry—whether a sequel or a standalone story—may not arrive until the early 2030s, reinforcing Sandfall’s long-term, craftsmanship-first mindset.
