Does Gustave come back in Clair Obscur Expedition 33

Gustave’s death left a lot of people with several questions. Wasn’t he one of the main characters? And most importantly, does Gustave come back later in the story? After all, with the game set in a fantasy world, anything’s possible.

Unfortunately, people looking forward to hearing Charlie Cox’s voice will be disappointed as Gustave does not return to life. His position is filled by Verso, the stranger who saves them from Renoir and takes on an important role moving forward.

How did Gustave die

With how things were being set up moments before the incident, one would think of a surprise boss confrontation. Maybe the game gives everyone a good beating and throws them off the path, just to show the power difference.

The anticipation quickly turned into shock as Renoir backstabbed Gustave, who was caught in a moment with Maelle, with his back turned towards the threat. Even during the fight, we were hoping someone might come to the rescue.

That someone was Verso, who stepped in to save Maelle, but not before Renoir stabbed Gustave and interacted with Maelle for a moment. Gustave's death was a tragic one, but it helped establish a few things in the narrative moving forward. Renoir’s interaction with Maelle also helps set up Act 3 of the game.
