Independent French game developers Sandfall Interactive emerged as the big winners at The Game Awards 2025 this morning, nominated for 12 categories and taking home 9 wins — including the coveted title of Game of the Year.
To celebrate this monumental milestone, and as a sincere ‘thank you’ to fans, Sandfall Interactive and publisher Kepler Interactive have released a free game update which adds new content and surprises for fans of the smash-hit reactive turn-based RPG.
The free game update is rolling out now across all platforms and regions, and will introduce a host of much-requested new content including:
- A new, playable environment, taking the characters of Expedition 33 to ‘Verso’s Drafts’ – a whimsical storybook adventure with ties to a young Verso. Players will encounter celebratory Gestrals, surprising new locations and an encounter with a sinister, powerful presence…
- New music tracks by Lorien Testard, the award-winning composer behind the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 soundtrack, which are also now available on digital streaming platforms. You can listen to the playlist on YouTube here.
- Challenging boss battles for late-game players to overcome within the Endless Tower. Besting these powerful adversaries will reward players with powerful new Pictos, costumes and gear.
- A much-requested official Photo Mode, allowing players to pause the action and commemorate their favorite moments from the game’s story and battles.
- New text and UI game localizations into Czech, Ukrainian, Latin American Spanish, Turkish, Vietnamese, Thai and Indonesian, bringing the total number of supported languages to 19.
- Added FSR 4 support, including AMD temporal upscaling for sharper visuals and frame generation for smoother gameplay on compatible GPUs.
- New Quality of Life improvements, other new features and further improvements to the game’s performance across platforms, including on handheld PC systems.
Since launching in April, Expedition 33 has gone on to receive widespread critical acclaim and accolades around the world. As one of the best-reviewed new releases of 2025, the game has gone on to sell over 5 million units across digital download and retail and has inspired a whole new generation of artists, cosplayers and fans with its breathtaking artistry, immersive world and exciting turn-based combat.
