2025 Game of the Year Award Winner:
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 by Sandfall Games
Congratulations to Sandfall Games on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 winning Game of the Year.
What makes this especially exciting for us is being part of the project from its very early days.

Five years ago, the first draft trailer of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 featured the Steampunk – Victorian Environment Megapack. At that stage, the team was still exploring ideas and visual direction, and the environment was used during early prototyping for a Victorian city concept.
The Art Director of Sandfall Games, Nicholas Maxson-Francombe, recently shared his experience using the pack:
“Using that pack really laid us a strong foundation to create our first Victorian city. We loved the intricate designs and shapes.”
It’s genuinely great to see Leartes environments supporting early world-building on a project that went on to become such an acclaimed title.
Watching Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 grow from an early prototype into a Game of the Year winner is something we’re happy to have witnessed in a small but meaningful way.
