This year, 42 games have been nominated in 17 categories&#8211;and just like nearly every other awards show this year, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has earned more nominations than any other game.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Clair Obscur has earned 12 nominations in 10 categories:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Artistic Achievement<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Audio Achievement<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Best Game<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Debut Game<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Game Design<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Music<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Narrative<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">New Intellectual Property<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Performer in a Leading Role (Jennifer English)<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Performer in a Leading Role (Ben Starr)<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Performer in a Supporting Role (Charlie Cox)<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\">Performer in a Supporting Role (Kirsty Rider)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But Sandfall Interactive&#8217;s beloved debut title isn&#8217;t the only game with multiple nominations.

A nomination is an extraordinary achievement, and I extend my warmest congratulations to every nominee for their innovation, hard work and resilience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Keep reading for a
