Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, film adaptation with Story Kitchen££££
Its potential had already been sniffed out by Hollywood a few months before its release, since Variety reported in January 2025 that Sandfall Interactive was partnering with the company Story Kitchen to develop a film version of this RPG inspired by the old Final Fantasy in its mechanics. As a reminder, Story Kitchen is already working on several adaptations of the genre, such as the animated series and live-action projects of Tomb Raider as well as the film Just Cause.
Chiaroscuro: Expedition 33, the pitch of the game££££
And to understand the hype that accompanies this game, here is its official pitch, rather catchy: "Once a year, the Painter wakes up. On her Monolith, she paints her cursed number. And all those of this age go up in smoke. Year after year, this number decreases and more and more of us are erased. Tomorrow, she will wake up to paint "33". And tomorrow, we will leave for our ultimate mission: to eliminate the Painter, so that she never paints death again."
