Summary

• Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 sold out physically due to high demand.

• The game has garnered critical acclaim and may be a Game of the Year contender.

The latest video game to make waves across the entire industry is Sandfall Interactive’s Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. This old-school, turn-based RPG has impressed critically and commercially, and it’s not done yet.

The latest announcement from the developers confirms that the game is doing well—so well that some gamers might not even be able to buy it.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Discs Manage To Sell Out

If you prefer buying games physically, you might have difficulty getting a copy of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. The developers announced today that they have sold out of physical editions at various retailers.

The tweet reads, “We are aware that we have sold out of physical editions at various retailers. Our distribution partners are looking into re-stocking! Sorry, the demand has been higher than expected in many regions. Please stay in touch with your local stores for more info.”

This is quite impressive since we rarely see a game physically sell out like it did way back then. While most gamers opt to buy digitally these days, there’s still a lot of gamers that prefer having a disc in their possession and as part of their game collection.

No clue how many physical copies publisher Kepler Interactive manufactured, but regardless of the number, it doesn’t seem like it’s enough.

If you’re dead-set on getting a physical copy, it’ll probably be restocked soon. While it’s rare to see a turn-based RPG (of all games) sell out its physical version, Expedition 33 definitely deserves it.

If you’ve yet to play it, check out our spoiler-free review, which states, “Sandfall Interactive’s debut title is one of the greatest accomplishments in gaming, delivering a well-paced, polished, and unforgettable experience. From the incredibly impactful and deeply emotional narrative to the enjoyable, challenging, and rewarding combat, Expedition 33 delivers on all fronts.”

It’s not just us, as this is the year’s highest-rated game so far, and is easily in the running for Game of the Year.
