Hello everybody, I’m Jenn, Lead Author and Voice Manufacturer on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
Since revealing the sport in June, we’ve been blown away by means of its reception (and inspired by means of the eagle-eared listeners who known the voices within the trailers). It brings us nice excitement to in the end expose our English voice solid and percentage some extra details about our characters and their global.
We’ve lived and breathed those characters for the previous few years, so it used to be surreal and an honor to witness our unbelievable voice solid deliver them to lifestyles.
The actors had been exceptional to paintings with (and simply all-around nice other people). We had numerous amusing right through the recording classes. The solid fantastically conveyed the complexity of the characters, who’ve every been formed by means of the harshness in their global. Each and every personality has been suffering from deep and dependable loss and has handled this in their very own manner.
In the past, we presented 4 of the characters.
Charlie Cox (Daredevil) is the voice of Gustave, the lead engineer of Expedition 33. Gustave grew up in Lumière below the Paintress’ shadow and has faithful his lifestyles to safeguarding the town. Along with his ultimate 12 months ticking away, Gustave is hell-bent on defeating the Paintress and reclaiming a long run for Lumière’s kids.
Jennifer English (Baldur’s Gate 3) performs Maelle, a shy loner keen to flee the limitations of Lumière. Orphaned as a kid, Maelle has at all times felt like an intruder. Her most effective connection is with Gustave, her foster brother. She is the youngest member of the Expedition, at 16, and sees this as her likelihood to in the end discover the arena past.
Kirsty Rider (Sandman) voices Lune, the executive researcher of the Expedition. Lune is very pushed in her quest to defeat the Paintress and whole the paintings of her folks. She feels keenly the load of duty and the gravity of the stakes concerned.
Shala Nyx (The Previous Guard) voices Sciel, a peaceful and cheerful warrior unfazed by means of the hindrances forward. Overcoming her previous has allowed her to just accept the chances towards them. They’re going to do all of their energy, and it is going to both be sufficient or it gained’t.
In our newest trailer, we introduce two new characters.
Lots of you astutely known the voice of our cherished Ben Starr (Ultimate Fable XVI), who performs Verso, a perilous stranger monitoring the Expedition’s each transfer.
We requested Ben how he’d describe Verso, and he stated, “misplaced, lonely, and threatening,” and that he expects avid gamers to really feel “each emotion possible” as they get to understand his personality.
Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings, Black Panther) performs the position of Renoir, a person relentlessly pushed to avoid wasting his circle of relatives. He is aware of that victory calls for sacrifice, and he’s in a position to pay the fee.

Growing the characters used to be a multi-part procedure, which integrated charting an in depth historical past of Lumière and every personality’s circle of relatives historical past and considering via how prior generations spoke back to the Paintress. Those elements all performed a job in who every personality is and what they’re attempting to triumph over.
In some ways, the method of writing is without equal RPG. It’s a longer concept experiment the place we position our characters, with their backstories, in those explicit scenarios, and step into their footwear. What do they do? How do they really feel? How have their previous reports formed them, and the way does that affect their alternatives nowadays?
Forged and characters aren’t the one new components on this trailer. Attentive lovers will have identified new places, along new enemies. Golgra and The Tisseur are two fearsome adversaries who will take a look at your reflexes in our reactive turn-based struggle.
We’ve additionally highlighted extra traversal components inside the recreation. The pictos-powered grapple permits participants of the Expedition to summit heights and transparent gaps, expanding the rate at which you’ll discover the arena.
Growing the arena, the tale, and the characters has been deeply pleasant (and amusing and engrossing and maddening). We’re proud and excited to percentage the sport with everybody when it releases in Spring 2025.
We are hoping you loved nowadays’s finds! Keep tuned for more info about Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. We have now a super deal extra to turn you, together with components in regards to the global, the gameplay, different characters, and sneak peek At the back of the Scenes.
