Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 studio withdraws legal action against graphic novel that shares the RPG's name, wishing its creators success

A man looking straight ahead during one of the best Xbox Series X games, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

After a graphic novel author shared that he had received a lawyer's letter on behalf of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 studio Sandfall Interactive for potential copyright issues, the game's developers shared they were looking into it – and now, an even more positive update.

L'Académie Clair-Obscur author Olivier Gay first shed light on the situation on March 6 in a post online (as machine-translated by DeepL, Google, and X), explaining that he had received a letter from Sandfall Interactive's legal team instructing him to stop selling his graphic novel under its title – a title that resembles Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's own quite closely.

He said the book was first pitched in 2019 and had been contracted under its name in 2024.
