Tiny Team, Bold Ambition: Expedition 33’s Creators Defend Keeping It Small

In a Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 postmortem in Yokohama, Sandfall Interactive explains why they purposefully keep their team small (about 26) to preserve a focused creative vision for Expedition 33, a 2025 Game of the Year‑winning JRPG-inspired title. They credit Unreal Engine 5 and Blueprints for delivering a big‑game look with a lean crew, discuss the JRPG and anime influences (Final Fantasy, Lost Odyssey, Attack on Titan, Bleach), and note that a Switch 2 port is being considered but not confirmed. The studio prioritizes staying indie with a warm Montpellier office culture (the “Manor”) and aims to pursue another project fueled by passion rather than expansion. Expedition 33 is available on PC (Steam), PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
