Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's Unstoppable Rise in Gaming Awards

Award-Winning Success

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has recently surpassed The Last of Us Part 2 in the number of Game of the Year (GotY) awards. This places it in second place, right behind Elden Ring.

The game has been recognized as the best of the year by 404 different media outlets—a staggering number!

Standing Out from the Competition

To put this into perspective, the next closest game, Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, has only 35 wins. Hollow Knight: Silksong is not far behind with 34 awards.

Clair Obscur's success is even more impressive when you consider that it has already won The Game Awards. This achievement puts it in a league of its own.

Data and Credibility

The data comes from a forum called ResetEra, which has specific rules for counting awards. For example:

• Outlets must be multi-platform and have a wide reach.
• They need to be active for at least a year.
• They must have a selection process involving more than one person.

These rules help ensure that the data is accurate and not skewed.

The Race to the Top

Clair Obscur still has a way to go before it can surpass Elden Ring's record of 435 awards. With only 31 more wins needed, it's a close race. However, it's already mid-January, so it's uncertain if the game can achieve this feat.

Regardless of the outcome, Clair Obscur's success is a testament to its quality and the love it has received from players.

The Gaming Community Reacts

The gaming community is buzzing with excitement. Even the highly anticipated GTA 6 may struggle to match Clair Obscur's success.

In the end, it's the players who benefit the most from this intense competition. They get to enjoy high-quality games and witness historic achievements.
