Clair Obscur opened a new avenue for Charlie Cox as he returns to games

Charlie Cox, best known for playing Matt Murdock in Marvel’s Daredevil, voiced Gustave in last year’s Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. He has said he didn’t know much about videogames when he took the part and hadn’t yet played the title himself. Cox noted surprise at the intensity of the game’s following: "It's something I haven't known much about, and honestly I didn't realize quite how passionate the fans were.

They are as passionate as the Marvel fans are. That's been really, really cool." Fans campaigned heavily for Expedition 33, which won game of the year and took nine awards at The Game Awards, more than Baldur's Gate 3 did in 2023. On the impact of the project, he added: "I loved being part of Expedition 33.

I was blown away by the success that it's had and how far-reaching that game has been. And it has seemingly opened a new avenue for my professional work.
