It's been a great year for games so far in 2025, but one title in particular has emerged as one of its biggest surprise hits, a colossal win for Xbox Game Pass, and a serious contender for Game of the Year: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. This fantasy RPG built by a relatively small team at Sandfall Interactive floored players with its creative blend of turn-based and real-time mechanics and its beautiful, impactful story — but interestingly, one of the biggest names that contributed to the latter feels a bit uncomfortable with all the praise.
That individual is Charlie Cox, the star of Marvel's critically acclaimed Daredevil show and its Daredevil: Born Again follow-up that also had a leading voice acting role in Expedition 33 as party member Gustave. Speaking at a panel at the Washington State Summer Con this past weekend, Cox explained that while he's incredibly excited for the success of the game, he feels awkward for the attention it's brought him since he ultimately didn't spend much time contributing to the project.
