The official Brazilian Portuguese voice-over is now available, bringing even more immersion to players. For the voice of the Announcer, we brought in the talented Vanessa Angelo, who did an outstanding job, and for the enigmatic Ringmaster, we secured a big name: Carlinhos Silveira, one of Brazil’s greatest voice actors.

If his name sounds familiar, it’s no coincidence. Carlinhos Silveira is the voice behind iconic characters such as Shaka of Virgo (Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac), Gollum (The Lord of the Rings), Oh Il-Nam (Squid Game), as well as Zeff and Dr. Hogback (One Piece). Now, he brings all his expertise to make the Ringmaster an even more terrifying villain.

To celebrate this exciting news, during Steam’s Spring Sale, Hired 2 Die will be 20% off. If you haven’t been hired by the Intersection yet, this is your chance to grab the game at a special price.
