Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was the breakout hit of April 2025, a stunning JRPG from a small indie studio that captured the hearts of millions and is still a frontrunner for Game of the Year. Its rich world is packed with detail, and for the past six months, its dedicated community has been combing every inch of it for hidden details and Easter eggs. Just when they thought they’d found them all, the game’s director, Guillaume Broche, has fanned the flames of discovery by confirming that yes, there are still secrets in the game that no one has found yet.
The Director’s Cryptic Confirmation
In a recent interview with Eurogamer, Broche was asked if the game still held any undiscovered mysteries. His answer was a delightful tease for the game’s 5 million players. “There are [more secrets], but I don’t want to say them because they won’t be secrets anymore,” he said. “Maybe they have been found, but I haven’t seen anything about it. There are still a few things, yeah.”
This confirmation is a call to action for the game’s most dedicated fans. It means that somewhere in the game’s gorgeous, hand-crafted world, there are intentional, hidden details waiting to be uncovered. Broche’s comments have reignited the hunt, sending players back to every corner of the game’s world, re-examining every strange piece of text and every out-of-place object.
Found Secrets vs. ‘Accidental’ Secrets
The community has already found some brilliant Easter eggs. There’s the fan-favorite ‘Trashcan Man,’ a quirky and absurd character found in an alleyway. There’s also the in-game card game ‘Double Dyad,’ a clear and loving homage to the iconic Triple Triad from Final Fantasy VIII, one of the game’s biggest inspirations.
Hilariously, Broche also admitted that the community’s creativity sometimes outpaces the developers’ intentions. “The funny thing is [fans] found secrets that were absolutely not secrets originally,” he said. “And we are just like, ok cool. I guess that’s a secret!” It’s a wonderful example of how a passionate community can add to a game’s legend, creating its own lore alongside what the developers built.
What Could Be Left to Find?
With no hints from the director, the community is left to speculate. Could it be a hidden boss? A secret line of dialogue that triggers under obscure conditions? Or maybe a new, powerful piece of gear hidden behind an elaborate puzzle? The possibilities are endless. This isn’t to be confused with cut content, which fans have also explored using mods. For example, some players have broken through the game’s boundaries to find unfinished areas, like a hidden path behind Dark Shores. While fascinating, these are remnants of development, not the intentionally placed secrets Broche is talking about.
The search is made even more exciting by the news that Sandfall Interactive is working on a major free update for the game to thank players for their support. This update will include a brand-new location, which will almost certainly come with its own set of mysteries to solve.
