Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 developer Sandfall Interactive has reiterated interest in a Nintendo Switch 2 version of its award-winning role-playing game but cautioned that it is still too early to make any official announcement.
The French studio, led by CEO and creative director Guillaume Broche, discussed the platform possibility in a recent interview with Japanese outlet Automaton.
Background and studio context
Sandfall Interactive developed Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 using Unreal Engine 5.
The studio is a smaller, independent team that brought in external support during development, a factor it says will shape decisions about additional platforms.
The game attracted attention from outlets such as Push Square, which described Clair Obscur as a daring and quirky RPG and recommended it as a must-play at launch.
What Sandfall told Automaton (paraphrased)
Broche reiterated that the team remains interested in bringing Clair Obscur to Nintendo hardware, but stressed that the project is premature to announce publicly.
In his words, Sandfall is actively considering a Nintendo version while acknowledging there are unresolved technical and timing questions.
Co-founder Tom Guillerman framed a potential Switch 2 conversion as a substantial technical undertaking for the studio.
Guillerman emphasized that the team must weigh those engineering challenges against its current size and the external resources already enlisted during the game's development.
Technical considerations and Unreal Engine updates
Lead character and concept artist Alan Reynaud pointed out that Unreal Engine 5 continues to evolve and that certain features are being adapted for constrained hardware.
Reynaud noted that systems such as the more lightweight Lumen variants are becoming available, and Sandfall will evaluate engine updates as part of its next-step planning.
What this means for players
At present, Sandfall has not set a timeline, announced a port, or confirmed target platforms for a Switch 2 release.
The studio's comments are limited to interest and caution: the team is evaluating technical feasibility and waiting on further engine enhancements and internal planning before moving forward.
For readers tracking Nintendo platform announcements, any official confirmation would likely appear through standard channels such as a Nintendo Direct, eShop listing, or a developer press release.
Until then, Sandfall's statements to Automaton remain the most recent verified update.
