Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has been a bit of a mystery before release, but now it’s clear this JRPG is making waves. Just 12 days after launch, it has sold over two million copies, proving it’s more than just a promising title with a fancy name.
The game has been receiving praise in spades. It’s already the highest-rated game of 2025, and it is getting a movie adaptation. It even caught the attention of French President Emmanuel Macron, who publicly congratulated the developers.
The official Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 X page shared the interesting news: “Twelve days in, and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has crossed two million copies sold. We’ve watched in awe as so many of you began your journey. Feeling every step, every emotion, every revelation alongside you. To those just joining us: welcome. Tomorrow comes.”
It’s wild to think this success came from a new developer without a proven track record, even if the team behind it is experienced. The game looked great before launch, but no one really knew how it would perform. Now, it’s clear it’s smashing expectations.
