Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, a turn-based RPG, gained significant attention partly due to its impressive voice cast, including Charlie Cox, Ben Starr, Jennifer English, and Andy Serkis. Charlie Cox, known for his role as Daredevil, expressed surprise at the game’s critical acclaim, admitting he had not played it himself. Despite spending only a few hours recording his lines for the character Gustave, who quickly became a fan favorite, Cox felt like a “total fraud” amid the game’s success.
At Washington State Summer Con, Cox shared that although he was only in the studio for about four hours, the positive reception and congratulations made him feel undeserving. Nevertheless, he was thrilled for the development company and proud of the game’s achievements.
Cox’s character had a significant impact on the game’s narrative, especially in the early stages and the conclusion of the first act. The entire cast’s nuanced and emotional performances contributed to Expedition 33 becoming one of the best-reviewed games for several months.
Developer Sandfall Interactive is planning future enhancements for Expedition 33, including expanded localization and accessibility features. The studio is also preparing to develop its next game, hinting at exciting new ideas in the pipeline, though details remain under wraps.
