Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 developer Sandfall Interactive has claimed yet another win, and as videogame trophies go, this one is pretty rare. The studio has been awarded the Order of Arts and Letters by France's Ministry of Culture, an honor that acknowledges "people who have distinguished themselves through their creations in the artistic or literary field or through the contribution they have made to the influence of Arts and Letters in France and throughout the world."

"From Expeditioners to Knights!" Sandfall Interactive wrote on LinkedIn (via Videogamer). "We were received yesterday at the Ministry of Culture to celebrate our game, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. As such, the members of Sandfall Interactive were awarded the Order of Arts and Letters. This distinction honors us, and our deepest thanks go especially to our team who shaped this world and to the millions of players who have brought it to life. We hope that our journey will inspire all those who wish to take the plunge and create their own work."

The Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, as it's known in untranslated form, was created in 1957 as a decoration "tailored to the world of arts and literature," but the French Ministry of Culture says its history goes back centuries.
