Darkest Dungeon Dev Would Never Use AI to Copy Deceased Narrator’s Iconic Voice

Red Hook Studios says it will not use generative AI to recreate late narrator Wayne June’s voice for future Darkest Dungeon projects.

Director Chris Bourassa made the stance clear amid fan talk about a possible Darkest Dungeon 3.

June had reportedly permitted AI training before his death, but the studio still rejected posthumous voice cloning.

The decision underscores growing ethical concerns around using AI to imitate a deceased performer’s signature sound.
