Clair Obscur Game Awards Shock! Charlie Cox's Humbling Confession!

Charlie Cox, known to many as the definitive Daredevil, is facing a different kind of spotlight these days. This time, it’s not about acrobatic fight scenes in Hell’s Kitchen, but rather a Game Awards nomination for his voice acting in *Clair Obscur: Expedition 33*. While he's understandably thrilled, Cox is deflecting a significant portion of the praise towards Maxence Cazorla, the motion capture actor who physically embodied the character of Gustave.

Speaking at a recent panel discussion hosted by POSTA Entretenimiento, Cox was effusive in his appreciation for the nomination for Best Performance. However, he was quick to emphasize that the character's foundation was Cazorla's masterful performance. "Any nomination or any credit I get, I really have to give to him," Cox insisted, highlighting the collaborative nature of bringing Gustave to life. It's a refreshing level of humility that you don't always see in the entertainment industry, and it really speaks to the respect he has for the art of motion capture.

And it’s not just Cox getting some love from the Game Awards. He’s in good company! Fellow *Clair Obscur: Expedition 33* cast members Ben Starr and Jennifer English are also nominated for Best Performance, further cementing the game's strong showing. It seems Sandfall has really assembled a stellar cast.

Beyond individual accolades, *Clair Obscur: Expedition 33* itself is a major contender for Game of the Year. The turn-based RPG faces some stiff competition, going head-to-head with heavy hitters like *Death Stranding 2: On The Beach*, *Donkey Kong Bananza*, *Hades 2*, the eternally anticipated *Hollow Knight: Silksong*, and *Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2*. Talk about a stacked lineup!

But here's where things get truly impressive: with a staggering 12 nominations, *Clair Obscur: Expedition 33* has made Game Awards history. It now holds the record for the most nominations ever received by a single game since the award show began. That's an incredible achievement and a testament to the game's overall quality and impact.

Mark your calendars, gamers! The Game Awards 2025 are scheduled to air on Thursday, December 11th, at 7:30 PM EST. For those of us across the pond in the UK, that means setting your alarms for the early hours of December 12th. Coffee will be essential!

As if all this wasn't enough, *Clair Obscur* director Guillaume Broche dropped a tantalizing tidbit back in October, revealing that the game still holds undiscovered secrets. He remained understandably tight-lipped about any hints, but it certainly adds another layer of intrigue. And, according to reports, an update for *Clair Obscur* is currently in development. It seems Sandfall isn't quite done with Expedition 33 just yet, and I, for one, am eager to see what they have in store.
