Charlie Cox has finished recording for a Sega video game that has not been announced.

The actor, known for playing Daredevil in Marvel's Netflix series, shared the news at New York Comic-Con 2026. He was speaking to IGN's Jeffrey Vega when he said the work was done but the project had no public title. It has not come out yet. IGN

Cox did not name a character. He did not describe the story or genre. He said the game "doesn't have a name yet", leaving Sega to make any formal announcement. Eurogamer

The role sounds large. Cox said he recorded about 40 hours of dialogue. That is the spoken material a player hears, from main story scenes to smaller lines. He added that he performed in an American accent.

It is his second major game role to become public. Cox voiced Gustav in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, the French-made role-playing game where a team sails out to stop a painter who erases people by age. The game was released to strong sales and awards attention.

That attention was significant. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 received a record 12 nominations at The Game Awards 2025. Cox was nominated for Best Performance alongside castmates Ben Starr and Jennifer English. VGC

The cast later called for the ceremony to add a motion-capture category. Motion capture records an actor's movement to drive a digital character, separate from voice work alone. The group said the current performance prize did not cover that full craft. VGC

The run continued into 2026. Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 led the BAFTA Games Awards 2026 nominations with 12. Cox was listed among the nominees as Gustave. VGC

What makes this stand out is the scale Cox described. Forty hours of recorded dialogue points to a central part, not a cameo. For fans, this means a wait. No title, no date, and no detail on when Sega will speak.
