Team Cherry Says Clair Obscur Is GOTY Favorite as Silksong DLC in Development

With DLC in development, Team Cherry publicly treats Clair Obscur as the Game Awards frontrunner.

Overview

  • Ari Gibson and William Pellen told Bloomberg they may be too busy to attend The Game Awards on December 11 and are not preparing an acceptance video.
  • Calling Expedition 33 “exceptional and broadly palatable,” Gibson contrasted it with Silksong, which he said strongly appeals to some players and frustrates others.
  • Pellen described Silksong’s launch as a high-volume wave that felt overwhelming compared with Hollow Knight’s slower rise.
  • The studio said it is exploring downloadable content at different scales, potentially including larger additions that revisit boss pantheons, and declined to give a timeframe.
  • Clair Obscur has momentum with a Golden Joystick Ultimate Game of the Year win and a record nomination tally at The Game Awards, and its orchestral tour is teasing more UK and European dates.
