While Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's wild success took its developers by surprise, one prominent actor and performance director was in fact so confident in the game that she took out a bet for 33 baguettes.
Aliona Baranova - most notable for working as the performance and motion capture director on Baldur's Gate 3 - appeared at a panel during Emerald City Comic Con 2026, alongside the French RPG's lead actors, Ben Starr and Jennifer English, where she was asked about whether or not she saw Clair Obscur's success coming.
