Wayne June, the famed narrator of the Darkest Dungeon games, has died. June's passing was announced on Bluesky by Darkest Dungeon creative director Chris Bourassa, who described June as "ancestor, academic, artist, and friend."
"Twelve years ago, Tyler [Red Hook co-founder Tyler Sigman] and I reached out to Wayne, humbly asking him to narrate our indie game's trailer," Bourassa wrote. "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.
