By any measure, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33<\/a><\/em> is a resounding success. It sold 3.3 million copies in 33 days<\/a><\/em> (because of course<\/em>) and is a front-runner to be awarded Game of the Year<\/a>. But one person isn\u2019t playing it: Charlie Cox, the voice behind expeditioner Gustave.<\/p>\n

\u201cApparently, the game is awesome \u2014 I’m not a gamer, I have no idea. I haven’t played it,\u201d the Daredevil: Born Again<\/em><\/a> star said during a panel at Washington State Summer Con. He said he was in the studio for \u201cfour hours maybe,\u201d and is quite surprised by how massively popular those four hours of work have become. Gustave has become a fan favorite \u2014 all the expeditioners have, really \u2014 and Cox is already dishing out his autograph for Gustave memorabilia<\/a>. While he may not have been in the recording booth for long, Cox\u2019s work in the game is vital to its story<\/a> (perhaps Clair Obscur<\/em>\u2019s best element) and its success; it\u2019s through his point of view that players first learn of the game\u2019s world, conflict, and characters.<\/p>\n

With its success comes a heaping of praise and congratulations for the game, its cast, and the developers behind it, Sandfall Interactive. However, Cox isn\u2019t quite comfortable yet with the praise that gets directed his way. \u201cPeople keep saying how amazing it is and congratulations, and I feel like a total fraud,\u201d he said, referring to the short amount of time he spent working on the game. \u201cBut I’m so thrilled for the company, I’m so thrilled it did really well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33<\/em> is out now for PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X. Alongside Cox, it features a cast of heavy hitters including Jennifer English (Baldur\u2019s Gate 3<\/em>), Ben Starr (Final Fantasy 16<\/em>), and Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings).<\/p>\n
