A turn-based RPG game "Light and Shadow: Expedition No. 33" created by a small team of 33 people, Sandfall Interactive, became the biggest dark horse this year. With "The Elder Scrolls 4: Annihilation Remake" before, and Game Pass later, the first day of the game's sales still exceeded 500,000 sets, and the peak of Steam online reached more than 70,000.

"Light and Shadow: Expedition No. 33" Steam's peak online at the same time exceeded 70,000 people. Netizen NikTek found that "Light and Shadow: Expedition No. 33" performed better than any game released on Steam this year and last year by French game company Ubisoft, including "Assassin's Creed"Ubisoft still dares not disclose the actual sales of Assassin's Creed: Shadow.

NikTek pointed out that Ubisoft has 18,000 employees and massive resources around the world to carefully design their "4A games", but the game performance is not as good as the turn-based RPG created by a small team of 33 people.

What is even more shocking is that the CEO of Sandfall Interactive turned out to be a former Ubisoft employee: Guillaume Broche.

As a new and unknown studio, French studio Sandfall Interactive reveals its secret

Who created "Light and Shadow: Expedition Team No. 33"?This team cannot be made up of just a group of fledgling developers.Sandfall Interactive brings together many senior Ubisoft talents.Studio CEO and creative director Guillaume Broche was the narrative leader of Ubisoft's "Magic Gate" series, and contributed some of his work to "Ghost Resolution: Breakpoint", and later founded his own studio.

Broche brought some old Ubisoft colleagues to join. The core development team has only 33 people, plus a special "developer" - a dog named Monoco, who is listed as a "happy manager".Monoco seems to be quite busy with the team, so we will count the number of developers to 34.

The profile of each Sandfall employee lists their favorite games, which makes it easy to see the inspiration for "Light and Shadow: Expedition No. 33".For example, Broche's two favorite games are Persona 3 and Devil May Cry, while the combat system of "Light and Shadow: Expedition 33" is like a perfect fusion of turn-based and action-killing elements.

This design direction is obviously very popular among players.According to Metacritic, Light and Shadow: Expedition No. 33 has not only become the highest rated game in 2025, but also ranked 159th in the highest rated game of all time.

"We are currently the highest rated game of Metacritic in 2025. There is no word. There are so many great game releases this year, thank you for your support."
