Hideo Kojima Meets Creators of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Hideo Kojima Hosts Game Developers, Including Clair Obscur Creators and Kepler's Alexis Garavaryan

Hideo Kojima recently hosted game developers at his studio in Japan, following his commendation for the team behind Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. During the visit, Kojima mentioned that Clair Obscur was developed by just 30 people, though this figure is not entirely accurate. Slated for a 2025 release, Clair Obscur is already anticipated as a significant contender for Game of the Year, potentially competing with Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. Its impact extends beyond direct competition, inspiring the industry and generating excitement for a new project from another company. Among the developers present with Kojima were Guillaume Broche, François Meurisse, and Tom Guillermin of Sandfall, alongside Alexis Garavaryan of Kepler. As part of a Kojima Productions tradition, Broche signed the studio's renowned visitor panel, which features signatures from many notable individuals who have visited the office.
