Actor Charlie Cox has stated he intends to finally experience the acclaimed game Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. He explains this decision stems from persistent fan inquiries about the title, despite his own unfamiliarity with its storyline.
Cox lent his voice to the character of Gustave in Clair Obscur, a contribution amounting to a few hours of vocal performance. In past interviews, he’s expressed feeling somewhat undeserving of praise, as he considers his contribution minimal relative to the game’s considerable acclaim.

The reviews are in for Clair Obscur, and it looks like Sandfall Interactive’s debut game is a hit.
During a recent appearance at GalaxyCon New Orleans 2025, a video of which was shared on YouTube, Cox shared his motivation. Unable to address a specific question about Clair Obscur, he recognized the need to play the game. He even joked he needs to acquire a console to do so. His reasoning centered around the frequent inquiries he receives and his lack of informed responses.
It’s Time For Charlie Cox To Experience Clair Obscur
Cox mentioned being impressed by the game’s visual presentation, especially considering his last gaming experience was Super Mario 64. Beyond that, his knowledge seemed limited. He even failed to recognize a character’s name when it was brought up during the Q&A session.
If Cox follows through, fans are hoping for a potential livestream of his playthrough, possibly benefiting a charity. Actors from games like Baldur’s Gate 3 and Final Fantasy 14 often share their experiences on platforms like Twitch, offering viewers a window into their reactions to key plot points in real-time.
Given Cox’s last major gaming encounter was with Super Mario 64, the advancements in gaming technology and storytelling since then are sure to be a surprise. It would be ideal for him to play Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 prior to The Game Awards. It would be rather awkward to win an award for his voice acting and then have to admit he still hasn’t even played the game.
