Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting Guillaume Broche, the leader of the 33 Expedition, and Maxance Playez, the Principal sound designer. We shared wonderful stories, and I also got to hear about their surprising connections with Korean games. Je serai dans l’équipe française à la fin de l’année pour soutenir l’Expédition. Thank you for creating such an amazing work, and I look forward to the day we meet again! #ClairObscurExpedition33# #SHIFTUP# #France# #MyGOTY#

*Not a spoiler, just an optional boss* After 4-5hrs we did it! I was scared people would backseat or tell me to quit and come back at higher lvl, but they believed in me 🥹 AAAA this is a moment I was very proud of myself! I found the Frost Eveque at lvl 28 (a little under-levelled) while wandering and exploring—and being the stubborn catfox that I am…I took it as a challenge. I had to defeat it! I had to get all my parries and basically not get hit once, otherwise instant death…and the tickle dmg we did vs big boss hp made it really difficult. But your stubborn catfox prevailed 🫶🏻 I’m a slow learner but I was very happy to finally progress and prove to myself that I can do it. I’m very hard on myself when it comes to games, so doing this made me feel a lot better. I’m really happy my cute Lunies cheered me on after watching me fighting this boss nonstop for so many hours, and even though I messed up lots they continued cheering for me. Thank you!! #HanyaLIVE# #ClairObscurExpedition33#

After the huge success of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, France is looking to put its game industry even more in the spotlight. President Emmanuel Macron has announced plans for a new international video game festival, saying: “Video games are part of our culture.” They will showcase French game development and celebrate the country’s growing impact on the global industry. There’s no date, location or full details yet, but Macron wants France to give more attention to the country’s major gaming successes. Clair Obscur become one of France’s biggest gaming success stories, so makes sense

Here’s my first reaction to Clair Obscur Expedition 33 theme music. Wore my headphones at the perfect time too lol. I hope they win the music award at least. GOTY can go to anyone, Very good games this year. This game’s story was goated too. Highlights on the channel very soon…
