Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Switch 2 Version Is Something Sandfall Thinks Could Be “Interesting”

With indie game hit Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 capturing the minds (and wallets) of gamers on consoles and PC, those who primarily game on the Nintendo platforms might be feeling a little left out.

While Sandfall hasn't announced anything, the studio's latest comments about the hit RPG potentially seeing a release on the Switch 2 points in a positive direction.

In a video chat, Sandfall CEO Guillaume Broche was asked about the Nintendo Switch 2, and given that its capabilities are now known, on whether a port would be something they'd be interested in.

Broche replied (via machine translation), "Well, at this point, considering the success of the game, it kind of changes everything. So clearly, it's too early to say, but we're kind of in a situation where… let's say there are a lot of opportunities showing up — way too many at once — and we're figuring out what we'll go for and what we won't. But yeah, it's definitely something that could be interesting."

As you can see, it's not an outright confirmation, but it's not a no, either. It seems that based on Broche's reply, it's something they're interested in doing, and I don't see how it would affect their bottom line outside of adding to more sales. Perhaps we'll see Expedition 33 make their way onto the Switch 2 at some point once the console is out officially? As someone who liked the game a lot, the more gamers who experience it, the better, since something this good should be played by everyone regardless of platform.

Just like the original Switch, we're expecting the Switch 2 to have a steady stream of RPGs available. Some of the announced RPGs for the console include: Cyberpunk 2077, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Switch 2 Edition, Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade and more. Perhaps we'll be adding Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 to that list at some point in the future.



Hope so. It is a great game and more people should play it.
 
Extremely unlikely they had a dev kit, but now they've hit the big leagues I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo rushed one over to them.

It'll sell very well in Japan indeed
 
This feels like a no-brainer given how well RPGs, and especially retro-inspired RPGs, performed on the OG Switch.

I know I would definitely pick it up.

It hasn't been doing that great in Japan so far, but that may be due to physical supply limitations.

I think getting it on the Switch 2 in Japan would increase sales, but only if they also take the time to get a quality Japanese dub for the characters.

Sandfall CEO doesn't say they are doing it, doesn't say they're not doing it. Just says the word "interesting" (in french).

Cue articles and threads!
 
Obviously just saying "interesting" means nothing, but if it does come to the Switch 2, I'd definitely recommend using docked mode on a bigger screen as the games art design is really fantastic (as is every other aspect)

Or just outsource the port. Would make more sense for a studio of that size, the game being on UE5 should make porting quite straightforward too.
