There are very few indie games that have reached the widescale success that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has, becoming the most nominated game in the history of The Game Awards and breaking worldwide sales records. Clair Obscur is hailed for its incredible gameplay, story, and especially its masterpiece of a soundtrack.

Next year, fans of Clair Obscur will be able to experience the soundtrack in person during the next leg of the "A Painted Symphony" tour, which will hit fifteen different European cities in Spring of 2026. Tickets go on sale on December 2, and fans can join the waitlist for select cities now.

Clair Obscur: A Painted Symphony Tours Next Year

Clair Obscur's OST is one of the best in video game history, with every track elevating the game’s vibe and feel, bringing the beauty and tension of the game to life in a way few scores manage. The soundtrack has been nominated for both Best Score & Music and Best Audio Design at The Game Awards 2025, and has been released to wide acclaim on collectible vinyl as well.

As such, the soundtrack was developed into a full-scale orchestral concert called "A Painted Symphony," which had its first series across France over the course of 2025. The concert series was so successful that they've decided to launch a full European tour in 2026 as well, and tickets are sure to sell out fast.

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of the soundtrack is its composer, Lorien Testard, a Sound Cloud artist who was virtually unheard of prior to Clair Obscur. The OST's success is a sign that it doesn't take a massive production to deliver a high-quality score.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's Soundtrack Is Stunning

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 simply would not be the same game without its soundtrack, and it's an absolutely stunning example of how music can not only add to a video game, but enhance the impact of the game's story and character arcs. Each track has a purpose and intention, reshaping how every scene is experienced.

Overall, the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 soundtrack is full of absolute bangers, such as Alicia or Monoco's theme songs, or even the title track, which has become absolutely iconic. The "A Painted Symphony" European tour starts in spring of 2026, with tickets going on sale on December 2, and they're sure to sell out fast.
