Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 stands out as a unique RPG showcased in Xbox's 2024 summer lineup, featuring a surrealist landscape and an intriguing premise about a world threatened by an omnipotent being, the Paintress. The game's narrative revolves around desperate 33-year-olds trying to alter their grim fate as numbers representing ages disappear annually. Developers Sandfall Interactive merge influences from classic RPGs and Impressionist art, securing prominent voice actors Andy Serkis and Charlie Cox whose passionate performances enhance the game's distinct aesthetic and themes, promising a fresh experience in the gaming world.
It's this lofty ambition that attracted some big name voice talent to this relatively modest game.
I immediately was drawn to the visual style, the world-building, the characters... just the themes behind the story," says Andy Serkis.
While getting the voice behind Gollum and Star Wars villain Snoke is a win in itself, he wasn't the only Hollywood talent drawn to Clair Obscur.
The RPG's intriguing themes and naturalistic script coax refreshingly earnest performances from the Hollywood duo.
