Sandfall Interactive, the developer behind new turn-based game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, was very outspoken about how the team was overtly influenced by several classic JRPGs, including multiple Final Fantasies and Atlus' Persona series. The game's now proven to be such a breakout hit that it's even surpassing some of the genre heavyweights that inspired it.
At the time of writing, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has managed to court over 87,000 concurrent players on Steam and counting (we're still early in the weekend so expect that to grow a little bit), according to SteamDB. That's a great result for an original series from a brand new developer, no less, in a subgenre that was considered stagnant a few console generations ago.
