    Charlie Cox voices Gustave in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the leader of a rag-tag expedition to defeat the murderous Paintress and provide safety for the remaining citizens of Lumière.

    Last night, his voice acting was nominated for Best Performance at the 2025 Game Awards alongside castmates Jennifer English (Myel) and Ben Starr (Verso). Indiana Jones And The Great Circle’s Troy Baker, Ghost Of Yōtei’s Erika Ishii and Silent Hill f’s Konatsu Kato were also nominated.

    Baker previously told NME that playing Indiana Jones almost “broke” him while Kato has said she spent so long in the world of Silent Hill f, she “felt my own sanity slipping”.

    However earlier this year, Cox revealed he spent just one four-hour session working on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. “I’m not a gamer [and] I haven’t played it. People keep saying how amazing it is and congratulations but I feel like a total fraud,” he added.
