Darkest Dungeon’s Narrator Wayne June Has Passed
The iconic voice behind Darkest Dungeon, Wayne June, has passed away. His passing was officially announced across various Darkest Dungeon social media channels and the game's official website. At this time, no specific cause of death has been disclosed.
According to the announcement, Darkest Dungeon creative director Chris Bourassa and Red Hook co-founder Tyler Sigman originally reached out to June to narrate the first game’s trailer. What began as a one-time collaboration turned into a long-standing and deeply appreciated partnership. Known for his powerful baritone voice, June brought an unmatched gravitas to the series, enriching the game’s dark and intense atmosphere.
“[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 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,” said Bourassa in a heartfelt tribute.
In a prior interview with PC Gamer, Bourassa revealed that he first discovered Wayne June through audiobooks of H.P. Lovecraft’s works—titles he regularly listened to before founding Red Hook. He even loaned the CDs to Sigman, who quickly became captivated by June’s immersive narration. That moment sparked the idea that led to June becoming part of the Darkest Dungeon family.
“We should get somebody like Wayne June to narrate the trailer,” was the original thought. Then came the realization: “Wait, Wayne June reads stuff for a living! Maybe he would do it!” The result was so compelling that the team decided to expand his role beyond the trailer and into the full game. His presence became such a defining element of the franchise that he returned to lend his voice to Darkest Dungeon 2 as well.
Fans around the world have taken to social media to express their grief and gratitude, sharing how much June’s narration enhanced their gameplay experience. Many highlighted memorable quotes and moments made unforgettable due to his delivery. Some even noted how they catch themselves quoting his lines during everyday life—an enduring testament to his impact.
Rest in peace, Wayne June. Your voice will echo on in the halls of gaming history, and your legacy will live on in every spine-tingling line you brought to life.
