"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a certified hit, officially selling more than one million copies," Rhys Elliott, head of market analysis at Alinea Analytics, tells GamesIndustry.biz. "The announcement didn't say players reached – it said copies sold. That was a choice, and I applaud the transparency."

The eccentrically titled RPG is a hit with gamers and critics, and physical copies are flying out of stores. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is looking more and more like one of the standout video games of the year. But if you're looking to grab yourself a physical copy, you might be waiting a little bit longer.

Expedition 33 developer Sandfall Interactive must be used to compliments by now — its RPG released a little over a week ago and is already universally acclaimed by players and critics alike — but I don't think anyone had "a hat tip from French President Emmanuel Macron" on their bingo card this week.
