It's official, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has won Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2025 , a huge feat for the small team of indie developers at Sandfall and Kepler Interactive. The result comes as no surprise, with Clair Obscur making a lasting impression on players across the globe. Hailed for its heart-wrenching narrative and unforgettably immersive world-building, Clair Obscur has raised the bar in the industry.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was nominated for a total of 12 awards at TGA 2025 , and while the GOTY win won't come as a huge surprise to anyone who has played the unforgettable RPG, it's an incredible accomplishment for a brand-new indie studio with limited resources compared to AAA titles nominated this year.
