Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Monoco actor reveals Ben Starr “was wrong”

Published by Daniella Wilson

Rich Keeble, the actor who plays Monoco in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, is the latest guest in our Arcade Hang interview series. And in the chat, he reveals that his co-star Ben Starr was staggeringly incorrect in predicting how well the game’s launch would go down. You can watch our conversation over on YouTube — where we get into the origins of the Monoco role, Keeble’s reaction to the game’s success, and a whole lot more — or you can read on for some choice quotes. Recalling how the role of Monoco was first described to him, Keeble tells us, “It just said ‘rich, deep, booming’ for the voice, and it did show a little image of him, which, I couldn’t really work out what was going on, to be honest. Having done booming voices before, Keeble got to work.

Video game performer and part-time jester extraordinaire Ben Starr is on his way to Fortnite, the actor has confirmed. It’s been a rather spectacular few years for Starr, who, after shooting to prominence as Clive in Final Fantasy 16, has gone on to play the likes of Prometheus in Hades 2 and Balatro’s Jimbo at various live events. Now, nearly a year on from perhaps his best role yet as Verso in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Starr is set to join Fortnite’s iconic The Seven as The Visitor. In a post on X, Starr wrote “I’m joining Fortnite as The Visitor. I’m so excited to bring back this iconic member of The Seven. I imagine I’ll be very normal about it,” alongside an image of him gazing lovingly at The Visitor’s in-game model. Want to see this content? This page contains content provided by Twitter.

Devora Wilde wants to return as Clea from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Any actor would be thrilled to be involved in a project that sweeps up every award going. To have two such projects in quick succession? Few have managed it, but Devora Wilde can count herself among that hallowed number to achieve a double tap of the Midas touch. Wilde won legions of fans for her spiky turn as Lae’zel in 2023’s Baldur’s Gate 3, and she impressed players again as the enigmatic Clea in 2025’s Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Both games won pretty much every Game of the Year award going. So, how did that amazing double bill come about? “Completely by chance, to be honest,” Wilde told Radio Times Gaming in our latest Arcade Hang interview. You can watch the full video in the player above, or on our YouTube channel, or read on for some choice quotes! Wilde continued: “I think people assume that, because of the way it’s happened, like one after the other, we are… well, first of all, people assume that we are just offered roles left, right, and centre, …
