Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has never been subtle about its influences. The turn-based RPG from developer Sandall Interactive, which took home Game of the Year and a number of other prizes at the 2025 Game Awards, is a clear love letter to the many amazing RPGs that have come before it. That inspiration and love for the genre's classics are only more evident in Clair Obscur's recently released free Thank You Update.
The update, announced on stage at The Game Awards during one of the many acceptance speeches the Clair Obscur team gave, adds a brand-new level called "Verso's Drafts". It's a sprawling, whimsical level full of more color and life than maybe any environment in the base game. While there is a loose story here, this is mostly just a playground in which to collect new weapons and take down challenging bosses.
