Charlie Cox Reveals He’s Already Recorded 40 Hours Of Lines For A Surprise Sega Game
With New York Comic Con 2026 now underway, a number of prominent actors, especially those in Marvel projects thanks to the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, are making the rounds on red carpets and stage events over the next few days. With a new Daredevil series on the horizon, it’s no surprise Charlie Cox is one of those actors. What was surprising was the Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 voice actor’s tease for a mystery Sega game he’s already recorded a ton of dialogue for.
Earlier this year, Cox shared that he would be starring in more gaming projects following his experience on last year’s award winning RPG. Speaking to IGN at NYCC, Cox confirmed he had been working on a new, as-yet-unannounced role for an upcoming Sega game. The role does appear to be a major one, too, and one that required the Daredevil actor to put on an American accent without much prior preparation.

“I had to do 40 hours or whatever it was, and I showed up for the first day, and I was like, ‘Hi guys, nice to meet you! How are you,” he recalled in the interview. “And all of them went, ‘…oh, he’s English.’ They’d wanted him to be American. But now I’ve got to do 40 hours of lines I’ve not prepared in an accent.”
With these scant few details, fans on social media have already begun to speculate. The most obvious possibility coming to the mind for many is Persona 6. With a need to record so many lines and the game’s recent official teases over the summer, some fans are hoping the actor will play a part in the latest entry in Atlus’ mega-hit JRPG series. That being said, there’s also the possibility that the game in question has not even been announced yet, and with Cox even saying that the game “doesn’t have a name yet,” that could well be the case.
Having won a number of awards for his very first role in gaming for a stellar performance as Gustave in Expedition 33, it’s nice to know Cox will be back in another major gaming project in the near future. Whatever that ends up being.
