Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Is So Good That Daredevil Actor Plans To Play It After 30 Year Break From Gaming

Expert Verified By

The Actor's Last Game Was Mario 64 From 1996!

Story Highlight
  • Charlie Cox, the actor behind Daredevil, voices Gustave in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
  • Although he never played the game, the actor plans to do so soon, thanks to the post-launch buzz surrounding the title.
  • He stated that his last game was probably Mario 64, a title first released nearly 30 years ago.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 took the entire gaming industry by storm a few months ago, setting a huge milestone for the newly formed studio Sandfall Interactive. Since its release, the game has sold millions of copies and amassed a massive fandom.

Sandfall Interactive even managed to include big names like Robert Pattinson and Charlie Cox into the mix, further cementing a strong legacy for the title. In fact, the RPG is so popular that Charlie Cox has expressed interest in playing it recently.

Why it matters: The actor does not typically play games, and his last played game, Mario 64, was released nearly 30 years ago in 1996.

Charlie Cox, the famous actor best known for his work on the Daredevil series, contributed to Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 as the voice of protagonist Gustave.

Although the voice actor has noted on various occasions that he was unfamiliar with Gustave or the game when recording voice lines for the character, a fan recently posed a question that prompted a fascinating response from Charlie Cox.

When asked about Esquie potentially becoming friends with Matt Murdock, Charlie Cox noted that he was unfamiliar with the character Esquie, as he had never played the game or knew much about it.

However, because the buzz surrounding Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 eclipsed most other games in 2025, Charlie Cox now intends to find out what all the excitement is about. He also noted that he would need a console for the game since he does not currently own one.

I wanna play the game. I remember being in the studio and thinking the visuals are extraordinary. They’ve come a long way since Mario 64, which was probably the last game I played.

-Charlie Cox

Perhaps the most interesting part about this response is that Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the first game since Mario 64 to have caught the actor’s interest.

Mario 64 was an incredible game and remains an icon for the industry, so Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 potentially becoming equally important as a game to Charlie Cox is a massive achievement in itself.
