Developed by Sandfall Interactive and published by Kepler Interactive, The Game Awards' 2025 Game of the Year explores a fantasy world inspired by Belle Époque France, fully realized in Unreal Engine 5. Free endgame DLC launched in December in the form of "Verso's Drafts," an additional in-game location accessible during Act 3 of the campaign.

Clair Obscur for Xbox Series X|S, handheld, and PC is now included with the Game Pass Premium subscription tier. The role-playing game with real-time mechanics is also available for PlayStation 5 and Windows through Steam, verified for use with the Steam Deck.


The composer stated that for every scene and every character he carefully selected instruments to complement their personalities. Vocal tracks performed by Alice Duport-Percier and Victor Borba figure significantly in reflecting the game’s story and atmosphere. The 33-minute song "Nos vies en Lumière" is streaming on the developer's YouTube channel.

In an composer comment posted on Steam, the musician expressed his appreciation for the medium:
As a teenager, I was completely immersed in The Legend of Zelda, a series that left the deepest mark on me. First with Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask, then with Wind Waker and Twilight Princess, these games hold some of my most emotional gaming memories, as I shared them with my loved ones.

From the Laced Records product page:
The music in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is pivotal in driving the emotive story that enraptured players have fallen in love with. Most tracks were written and recorded at Lorien Testard’s home studio, with a selection also performed and recorded by the prestigious Curieux Orchestre at Midilive Studios, Paris.

Lorien’s debut score is a musical painting that supports the game’s Belle Époque setting. Among many others, the leitmotifs in “Alicia” and “Lumière” are woven into the fabric of the game experience, capturing the grief and hope of the characters and the beauty of Lumière.
