Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 writer says picking an ending is like choosing "my favorite child," but ultimately the finales are "two sides of the same coin"

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Picking between Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's two endings is gut-wrenching enough as a player, but for the acclaimed game's lead writer, Jennifer Svedberg-Yen, it's akin to choosing a "favorite child."

Asked if she had a preferred ending in an interview with GamesRadar+ at the Game Developers Conference 2026, Svedberg-Yen jokes that the question is "like asking me to choose my favorite child" between Verso and Maelle, and that's partly because the team "wrote these endings in tandem."
