Receiving feedback at work is almost always terrifying, but waiting for Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 review scores was especially intense for actor Rich Keeble. He'd been hurt before, by a shriveled thumb named Gollum…
Keeble, the voice of Expedition 33's helpful, mystic creature Monoco, the turtle boss François, plus other characters in the French JRPG, shares during the recent Clair Obscur cast panel at Game On Expo 2026 that he "was starting to get a bit nervous" before the game's 2025 release. He was used to receiving negative attention for past projects, including now defunct developer Daedalic Entertainment's action-adventure game (in theory) Lord of the Rings: Gollum in 2023.
