Charlie Cox Finally Tries Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Says He Only Played the Opening

The brief tryout highlights a yearlong debate over fan pressure with renewed calls to credit motion-capture work.

Overview

  • Cox told GamesRadar ahead of Friday's BAFTA Games Awards that he has only sampled the opening section and has not finished the game, adding that he is not very good at it.
  • He voiced Gustave while motion-capture performance came from Maxence Cazorla, a split Cox has stressed as fans praise the character.
  • The actor has said he recorded his lines in roughly four hours and has at times felt like a fraud given the scale of the game's impact.
  • Fans and interviewers had pressed him for months to play, turning his limited involvement into a running topic across panels and coverage.
  • Eurogamer reports Cox plans a new game role with deeper involvement that may include motion capture, as Clair Obscur remains a heavily awarded, roughly 50-hour RPG.
