One of the big draws for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 was its cast of voice actors, as the turn-based RPG featured the talents of Charlie Cox, Ben Starr, Jennifer English, and Andy Serkis. For Cox, the critical success of the game has not gone unnoticed by him, as he remarked that he’d only heard good things about it. Jokingly, the Daredevil actor said that he felt like a “total fraud” for having only been in a studio for several hours to record his lines as Gustave, who quickly became a fan-favorite character with players.
“I don’t mean to minimize it in any way, and apparently, the game is awesome. I’m not a gamer, I haven’t played it,” Cox said at Washington State Summer Con (via Culture Crave). “My agent asked me if I wanted to go and do a voiceover–I was in the studio for 4 hours. People keep saying ‘congratulations’ and I feel like a total fraud. But I’m so thrilled for the company, I’m so thrilled it did really well.”
While Cox’s work for Expedition 33 was done in a day, his character still had a massive impact on the game, especially in its early hours and at the end of its first act. The performances of Cox and the rest of the cast have been widely hailed for their nuanced and emotional performances, which helped make Expedition 33 the best-reviewed game for several months.
Developer Sandfall Interactive has also been talking about what’s next for Expedition 33. The studio is looking at adding “a wide range of future improvements” including expanded localization and accessibility features. Sandfall is also preparing to start working on its next game, and while it is ready to say what exactly its next title might be, the studio did mention that it has some “great ideas” to work with on it.
