Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 just keeps impressing. In addition to selling more than 2 million copies already, Sandfall Interactive's turn-based RPG is a hit when it comes to its music.
The developer shared on social media that Expedition 33's soundtrack is "connecting far beyond what we ever imagined." Specifically, the soundtrack has reached No. 1 on Billboard's Classical Album charts, along with jumping to No. 13 on the Official Soundtrack chart and No. 31 on the Official Album download chart. In total, Expedition 33's soundtrack has surpassed 18 million streams since launch.
"Wow," the developer said in a social media post.
Expedition 33's soundtrack has also inspired numerous fan covers, which Sandfall has re-shared across its social media channels. One of them is the impressive guitar cover below.
Expedition 33's composer, Lorien Testard, had never worked on a game before. Game director Guillaume Broche found Testard on the website Soundcloud, and the rest is history.
Expedition 33 released the same week as Oblivion Remastered, and some believed the Bethesda remaster might eat Expedition 33's lunch, but that didn't seem to have happened. Publisher Kepler Interactive said the proximity to Oblivion Remastered didn't negatively impact Expedition 33, and might have even helped. Expedition 33 and Oblivion Remastered are both available on Game Pass.
GameSpot's Expedition 33 review scored the game a 9/10. "There are minor pitfalls in relation to its narrow exploration and some quality-of-life issues, but these missteps aren't enough to significantly detract from a game with all the makings of an RPG classic," reviewer Richard Wakeling said.
