Daredevil's Charlie Cox Responds To 'Clair Obscur
Amid the hype for triple-A titles, it's always nice to have the underdog fight against the odds and find their place among the big boys. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is a dark-horse favourite that has outshone some of the competition, selling two million copies in 12 days, and then, coincidentally, 3.3 million copies in 33 days.
Suffice it to say, the RPG is in the running for Game of the Year, led by a strong ensemble cast that includes Charlie Cox, best known for his portrayal of Marvel superhero Daredevil. In light of the overwhelming praise, the Daredevil: Born Again star admits to feeling 'like a total fraud', which, well, isn't quite the expected response, but there's a reason for that: he hasn't clocked in a single minute of gameplay, as shared in a clip circulating social media.
'And people keep saying how amazing it is and congratulations and I feel like a total fraud'

'Apparently, the game is awesome — I'm not a gamer, I have no idea. I haven't played it,' said the actor during a panel at Washington State Summer Con, adding that he recorded most of his lines in about four hours as part of a voiceover gig set up by his agent.
'People keep saying how amazing it is and congratulations, and I feel like a total fraud,' Cox continued. 'But I'm so thrilled for the company, I'm so thrilled it did really well.' Talk about maximum aura points — four hours is lightning fast!
Cox voices Gustave in Sandfall Interactive's debut entry, joined by Jennifer English ( Baldur's Gate 3 ), Andy Serkis ( The Lord of the Rings ), Ben Starr ( Final Fantasy XVI ), Kirsty Rider ( The Sandman ), Shala Nyx ( The Old Guard ), and more. The story follows a group of Expeditioners who have set out to destroy an entity called the Paintress, who paints a number on a monolith every year that dooms everyone of that age to death.
Moving forward, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is set to explore new content, accessibility features, and 'all sorts of bits and bobs', alongside expanded localisation options. 'While we don't have specific timelines or confirmed languages to share just yet, we wanted to let you know that it's very much on our radar,' said the team then.

Legendary's Live-Action ‘Street Fighter' Movie Has Found Its Chun-Li
Legendary Pictures' live-action Street Fighter movie has tapped a relative industry newcomer, Callina Liang, to portray the fighting game icon Chun-Li. As reported by Deadline, the 25-year-old actress has signed on to star as the film's female lead. Liang made her television debut in 2022, playing Mei in the first series of ITVX's teen drama Tell Me Everything , then going on to star in two 2024 films: J.C. Lee's Thai directorial debut Bad Genius and Steven Soderbergh's supernatural thriller Presence . Callina Liang in Presence (2024) Liang joins the film's recently-reported stars Jason Momoa ( Aquaman ), Andrew Koji ( Bullet Train ), Roman Reigns ( Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw ) and Noah Centineo ( Warfare ), with Bad Trip's Kitao Sakurai as its director. Even though the film's plot remains under wraps, it will most likely follow the same premise as its 1987 Capcom fighting game source material, which centres around a global fighting tournament organised by M. Bison, the leader of the evil organisation Shadaloo. Chun-Li, one of the most recognisable icons in the gaming space, is an Interpol officer and skilled martial artist who made her debut in 1991's Street Fighter II , and is famous for her muscular legs and kick-based movesets, appearing in nearly all subsequent instalments of the series, leading up to 2023's Street Fighter 6 . Capcom and Legendary embarked on the latest attempt to bring the iconic Street Fighter series to life in April 2023, tapping into Talk to Me's Danny and Michael Philippou as its director duo at the time. However, these plans would fall apart a year later, with the brothers exiting the project due to scheduling conflicts. Legendary has since found a new director in Kitao Sakurai, known for The Eric Andre Show , Bad Trip and Twisted Metal . The Street Fighter film was originally slated to debut on 20 March 2026, but has since been pulled from Sony's 2026 release calendar, with no news on its updated release window. Kevin is a reformed PC Master Race gamer with a penchant for franchise 'duds' like Darksiders III and Dead Space 3 . He has made it his life-long mission to play every single major game release – lest his wallet dies trying. Callina Liang Capcom Chun-Li Legendary Pictures Street Fighter

Netflix's 'Devil May Cry' Series Creator Adi Shankar Teases A "Very Different" Season 2
Hot off announcing his plans for a Duke Nukem adaptation, Adi Shankar, showrunner of the Netflix animated series Devil May Cry , has revealed that Season 2 will be a whole new beast compared to its predecessor, embodying more of the video game's feel that fans expect. 'Season 2 is a vvvvveryyyyy different show.' Shankar wrote on X\Twitter in response to a fan question, 'Yes, Dante levels up. His skills improve and you'll see him embrace more of the iconic badassery fans of the game expect.' 'That said, I'm still telling a story, and great characters don't just win — they grow,' he continued, 'What makes Dante compelling isn't that he's unstoppable — it's that he learns and keeps getting stronger.' Still, some fans took to the platform to express their disappointment in the series, especially regarding its portrayal of the well-known franchise side-character Lady and the changes made to its overall plot. To this end, Shankar was quick to clarify that his version of the story wasn't set up to be canon. 'Each franchise is a different beast,' he told another fan on the platform, 'It really depends on the IP. With Devil May Cry , there was already a deep and conflicting continuity across games/manga/etc — so going non-canon and creating my own AU gave me room to honour the spirit without getting trapped in the timeline gymnastics.' With his comments, Devil May Cry's Season 2 is shaping up to be quite different from the first, but it remains to be seen if this change will fall in line with what fans of the games are expecting. The series was renewed in April this year, although it has yet to secure a release date.
