Darkest Dungeon Developer Vows Against AI Voice Replication for Late Narrator Wayne June

Darkest Dungeon's developer, Red Hook Studios, has pledged never to use AI to replicate the voice of late narrator Wayne June, who passed away in January 2025. This decision underscores the studio's commitment to preserving June's legacy. The voice actor's iconic narration was integral to the game's charm since its 2016 release and its 2023 sequel.
