Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Developers Considering Switch 2 Port
Says It "Could Be Interesting"
Following the remarkable success of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Sandfall Interactive is exploring the idea of bringing the game to the Switch 2. In an insightful interview with French YouTuber mistermv on May 2, Guillaume Broche, the director of Expedition 33, discussed the studio's strategy moving forward after their impressive launch.
Broche emphasized the game's impact, saying, "Well, at this point, considering the success of the game, it kind of changes everything."
Addressing the potential for a Switch 2 release, Broche noted that the studio is currently sifting through numerous opportunities. "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 shared.
As the Switch 2 launch approaches, it's exciting to think that the year's top-rated game might also find its way onto Nintendo's latest handheld. Fans will need to stay tuned to see if they can experience the Belle Époque-inspired turn-based RPG on this new platform.
No Official Merchandise…Yet!
The flood of requests and opportunities has not stopped at just game ports for Sandfall Interactive. Among the many, there's a strong demand for official merchandise, particularly an Esquie plush. However, Sandfall has not yet produced any official merchandise for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. They've warned fans about counterfeit items circulating online, stating on Twitter (X) on May 14, "To be clear: any third-party websites selling Esquie plushies are NOT officially licensed."
They've also cautioned against purchasing these bootlegs, many of which feature AI-generated artwork and could be scams. On a positive note, Sandfall is actively working on creating official Esquie plushies.
Their tweet reassuring fans reads, "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 enthusiasm for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is undeniable, and with Sandfall's promise of official merchandise, fans have even more to look forward to. The game is currently available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. To stay updated on all the latest news about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, check out our article below!
