This month, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 absolutely cleaned house at The Golden Joystick Awards 2025 with seven trophies, matching a record previously only held by Baldur's Gate 3. That's good company indeed, but the team behind the French RPG can't quite believe it.
Speaking to GamesRadar+ and the Future Games Show after the show, art director Nicholas Maxson-Francombe called the record-tying night "quite surreal" because the team "never intended for all these awards, we just wanted to make a game that we thought that we liked [and] we thought other players would enjoy."
