Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Developers Eyeing Switch 2 Port

Director Finds Switch 2 Release "Could Be Interesting"

The resounding success of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has sparked discussions at Sandfall Interactive about expanding the game's reach to the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. In a revealing interview on May 2 with French YouTuber mistermv, Expedition 33 Director Guillaume Broche shared insights into the studio's plans post-launch.

Broche expressed that the game's achievements have shifted the studio's perspective and opened up new possibilities. "Well, at this point, considering the success of the game, it kind of changes everything," he remarked, indicating a period of strategic decision-making for the team.

When the topic turned to a potential Switch 2 release, Broche was cautiously optimistic, suggesting that while it's early to make definitive plans, the idea is compelling. "So clearly, it's too early to say, but we're kind of in a situation where... let's say there are a lot of opportunities showing up - way too many at once - and we're figuring out what we'll go for and what we won't. But yeah, it's definitely something that could be interesting," he elaborated.

With the buzz around Switch 2's upcoming launch, it seems fitting that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, hailed as one of the top-rated games of the year, might make its way to Nintendo's latest handheld console. Fans eagerly await confirmation on whether they'll get to experience this Belle Époque-inspired turn-based RPG on the new device.

Official Merchandise in the Works, Beware of Fakes!

Amid the game's soaring popularity, Sandfall Interactive is fielding a plethora of requests and opportunities. One of the most requested items is an official plush of the beloved character, Esquie. However, the studio has yet to release any official merchandise and has issued warnings about counterfeit products circulating online. In a May 14 Twitter (X) post, Sandfall highlighted the issue of unauthorized Esquie plushies being sold on third-party websites, stating, "To be clear: any third-party websites selling Esquie plushies are NOT officially licensed."

They further cautioned fans against purchasing these items, many of which feature AI-generated artwork and could be part of a scam. Despite this, Sandfall is actively working on bringing official Esquie plushies to market. Their recent post optimistically noted, "But here’s the wheee to balance out the whooo: we are looking into making official Esquie plushies, and we want to bring them to you as soon as we can. In the meantime, please be patient — and don’t get scammed!"

The excitement around Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 continues to grow, and with the promise of official merchandise on the horizon, fans have even more reasons to stay engaged. The game is currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. To keep up with the latest developments, be sure to check our ongoing coverage below!
