A musical work acclaimed around the world
With Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 “A Painted Symphony”, Lorien Testard has created one of the most remarkable video game soundtracks of recent years.
Ethereal melodies, powerful orchestrations and captivating vocal motifs accompany every stage of the Expedition, placing music at the very heart of the game’s emotional impact and artistic identity.
This outstanding achievement has been recognised with some of the industry’s highest honours, including a Games Award for Best Score and Music. Named Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2025, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 became the most awarded game in the ceremony’s history and established itself as a truly international phenomenon.
Its acclaim extends far beyond the world of video games: listened to and shared around the globe, the soundtrack has become a work of art in its own right. The digital soundtrack has achieved over 750 million track streams since its release in April 2025. The physical soundtrack debuted at No.2 on the France Top Albums (SNEP) and Germany Offizielle Deutsche Charts, while picking up six No.1 spots in the UK Official Charts and soaring to No.1 on the Billboard Classical Albums Chart.
