Double Fine Productions is honoring the late Tim Curry by giving away Brutal Legend on PC for 666 minutes, celebrating the iconic actor's unforgettable voice work in the 2009 cult classic.
Double Fine Productions is paying tribute to the late, great Tim Curry by making Brutal Legend free to download and own on PC for a very specific window of 666 minutes. Curry, who passed away at the age of 80, left an indelible mark on gaming as the voice of the villainous Doviculus in Tim Schafer's beloved 2009 heavy metal strategy game. As reported by IGN South Africa, the studio shared a simple and fitting farewell on its itch.io page, remembering the icon as the dark prince.
While mainstream audiences often remember Curry for his unforgettable turns in films like The Rocky Horror Picture Show, gaming fans knew him as a powerhouse voice actor who brought immense theatricality to titles like Command and Conquer Red Alert 3, Gabriel Knight, and Dragon Age Origins. His performance in Brutal Legend remains a masterclass in chewing the digital scenery, perfectly matching the game's over-the-top heavy metal aesthetic and RTS mechanics.
This nostalgic giveaway arrives as Double Fine settles back into independence following its departure from Microsoft. With the studio also bringing back its classic Amnesia Fortnight game jams to kickstart future projects, this temporary freebie serves as both a touching memorial to a legend and a great excuse for players to revisit a truly unique piece of gaming history.
