Charlie Cox recorded about 40 hours of dialogue for an unannounced Sega game

What happened

During New York Comic Con 2026, Charlie Cox said he had already finished his voice work for a new Sega game. In the reporting, the project is described as a surprise project or an as-yet-untitled Sega game, with no official title or character name. The comments surfaced on October 9, 2026, the same day the first reports and social posts about the interview appeared.

Cox said he had recorded “about 40 hours” of lines. That wording suggests an estimate rather than an exact figure, but it does indicate a substantial role. The source material also describes it as roughly 40 hours of dialogue or lines, reinforcing the impression that this was a large voice-acting job.

The actor also said he had to use an American accent for the recording. According to his own explanation, he had not prepared extensively for that and had to work with the voice on the spot. That detail comes directly from the interview quotes referenced in the reporting.

Around the same time, IGN shared a post summarizing the reveal as Charlie Cox appearing in a new, still untitled SEGA game, with a reference to NYCC. That post lines up with the interview quotes cited in the reporting. The social post explicitly identifies Cox as the Daredevil star and ties the update to New York Comic Con 2026.

The available information does not mention a genre, platform, release date, or official title. The character Cox voices is also still unknown. Based on the sources provided, the only confirmed details are that Cox worked on an unannounced Sega game and recorded a significant amount of dialogue for it.

Background

Charlie Cox is best known for playing Daredevil, but this report is only about his work on an unrevealed Sega game. The available sources do not mention a genre, platform, or release date. It is also not known whether this is a lead role, supporting role, or another kind of voice work, though the roughly 40 hours of recording suggests a substantial session load.

The news emerged around New York Comic Con 2026. No separate official announcement from Sega is included in the provided information; the reporting is based on Cox’s own comments in an interview. That means the core of the story is currently a personal confirmation from the actor, supplemented by social posts summarizing the same reveal.

The source information points to Kotaku as the primary reporter and IGN on X as additional social context. In IGN’s post, Charlie Cox is described as being in a new, still untitled SEGA game, with the reveal tied to NYCC. That confirms the timing of the news, but it does not add any further details about the game itself.

The fact report also notes that it remains unclear whether the 40 hours is an exact number or a rough estimate. Cox’s own wording, as quoted in the reporting, supports that caution. It also remains unknown which character he plays and whether Sega or Cox’s representatives have confirmed the project outside the interview.

Because there is no official title, no character name, and no release date, the reporting is still limited to the combination of Cox, Sega, New York Comic Con 2026, and the unusually large amount of recorded lines. That makes it concrete enough to report, but not yet enough to identify the project in detail.
