"Confidence is a slow and insidious killer", "Mortality clarified in a single strike", "Knowing hunger sets in, turning the body against itself, weakening the mind".
Många är de odödliga citaten som kommenterade vår framfart i Darkest Dungeon-spelen, men de hade inte varit något utan Wayne Junes ikoniskt stämningsfulla stämma. Tyvärr gick studion Red Hook Studios härom dagen ut med att June, som främst blivit känd via sitt arbete med Darkest Dungeon men tidigare även röstlagt Dota 2, lämnat oss.
Såhär skriver Red Hook Studios på hemsidan:
"Go with grace into the great beyond..."
We at Red Hook are heartbroken to confirm the passing of our beloved voice actor, Wayne June.
Twelve years ago, Tyler and I reached out to Wayne, humbly asking him to narrate our indie game's trailer. Since those magical moments when we first paired his reading with the footage, it has been an incredible and fulfilling collaboration. Wayne's singular baritone and masterful cadence elevated everything he read. He was a consummate professional, and his love of his craft was an inspiration. His inimitable work is woven into the very fabric of our industry in a way that cannot be forgotten.
It is one of my life's greatest honors to have written for him this past decade. Though I never got to shake his hand, I knew him to be a friend.
Thank you, Wayne.
Vila i frid, Wayne June.
