Saying Sandfall Interactive’s upcoming turn-based RPG Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 has a stacked voice cast would be an understatement. With the likes of Daredevil: Born Again‘s Charlie Cox and The Lord of the Rings‘ Andy Serkis, the French-made JRPG isn’t holding back its punches with its talent. The team behind the game showcased several of the voice talents with a recent trailer, emphasizing the level of commitment the team is bringing to the game.

Go behind the scenes with Ben Starr (Final Fantasy XVI), Jennifer English (Baldur’s Gate III), Shala Nyx (The Old Guard), and more in the video below:

The behind-the-scenes look features the following voice actors:

  • Ben Starr as Verso
  • Jennifer English as Maelle
  • Shala Nyx as Sciel
  • Rich Keeble (Good Omens) as Monoco
  • Kirsty Rider (The Sandman) as Lune
  • Maxence Cazorla (Eneffable) as Esquie

You can also feel the passion behind the project from Creative Director Guillaume Broche, as well as the sound and voice staff. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 will also feature the voices of two other Baldur’s Gate III alums, Devora Wilde and Tracy Wiles, alongside an equally impressive French cast.

About Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 via Steam:

Once a year, the Paintress wakes and paints upon her monolith. Paints her cursed number. And everyone of that age turns to smoke and fades away. Year by year, that number ticks down and more of us are erased. Tomorrow she’ll wake and paint “33.” And tomorrow we depart on our final mission – Destroy the Paintress, so she can never paint death again.

We are Expedition 33.
