Turn-based RPGs are back, baby. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has stunned in recent reveals, and now we know who’s playing several of the characters.

The details are below, check them out along with the above trailer.
London, United Kingdom & Montpellier, France (Oct. 16, 2024) – Independent French developer Sandfall Interactive today revealed a brand-new trailer for their upcoming, highly ambitious debut title Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, showing fresh new gameplay and revealing the game’s impressive voice cast.
In today’s new emotional trailer, players are introduced to the primary cast of characters they will meet when Expedition 33 launches in Spring 2025 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (available day one with Xbox Game Pass) and PC. Alongside the heroic Expeditioners and their pursuit of destroying the Paintress and freeing humanity from her cycle of death, players will also encounter mysterious and dangerous strangers who seem motivated by entirely different, and conflicting, forces.
Expedition 33 features an incredible voice cast of both video game and cinematic talent breathing life into the characters and world, including:
- Charlie Cox (Daredevil: Born Again, Stardust) as Gustave, a resourceful and dedicated engineer who devotes his final year of life to defeating the Paintress and reclaiming a future for Lumière’s children.
- Jennifer English (Baldur’s Gate III, Elden Ring) as Maelle, a shy loner who sees the Expedition as her chance to explore the world beyond Lumière and forge her own destiny.
- Kirsty Rider (The Sandman, Sifu) as Lune, a passionate scholar and mage intent on unravelling the mystery of the Paintress, and entrusted with charting a path forward for the Expedition.
- Shala Nyx (The Old Guard, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty) as Sciel, a cheerful and serene warrior. Having long accepted the brutality of the world, Sciel is untroubled by the spectre of failure and deeply committed to the Expedition’s cause.
- Andy Serkis (The Lord of the Rings, Black Panther) as Renoir, a forceful and passionate man, Renoir knows that victory demands sacrifice, and he is fully prepared to pay the price.
- Ben Starr (FINAL FANTASY XVI, Warframe: 1999) as Verso, a dangerous stranger, Verso is an outsider of unknown origins who closely tracks the Expedition.
- Also starring Rich Keeble (Good Omens), Devora Wilde (Baldur’s Gate III), Tracy Wiles (Baldur’s Gate III) and Maxence Cazorla (Ineffable) in unannounced roles.
In Expedition 33, players will traverse awe-inspiring landscapes in their fated journey towards the Paintress. Featuring dynamic traversal mechanics to quickly scale impossible terrain and leap across huge chasms, players will explore a richly detailed world filled with treasures, weapons and imposing enemies. In battle, players will discover an innovative reactive turn-based battle system, requiring timed inputs to perfectly execute powerful attacks, or dodge, block and parry enemy attacks to turn the tables and claim victory.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is available to wishlist now and will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S (available day one with Xbox Game Pass) and PC (via Steam and the Epic Games Store) in Spring 2025.
