Overview

  • Cox has yet to play Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and says he will do so once he acquires a game console.
  • He voiced protagonist Gustave in a single four-hour recording session without prior gaming experience and now describes himself as a “total fraud.”
  • Since its April launch, the Belle Époque–inspired dark fantasy RPG from Sandfall Interactive has shattered sales and critical benchmarks, becoming a top Game of the Year contender.
  • Cox praised the game’s “extraordinary” visuals and lauded its evolution from classics like Super Mario 64.
  • The game’s meteoric rise highlights Sandfall’s achievement as a 30-person studio and fuels discussions about performance humility in Hollywood.
