Gaming Icon Tim Curry Passes Away, Brütal Legend Goes Free as a Heavy Metal Tribute

The gaming world, along with the realms of film and television, is mourning the loss of a true legend. Tim Curry, a name synonymous with unforgettable performances, has passed away at the age of 80, leaving behind an incredible legacy that touched countless lives.

While many remember him for his iconic roles in movies and TV shows, gamers will forever cherish his contributions to our beloved medium. Curry lent his distinctive voice and unique talent to several memorable characters, including Gabriel Knight, Premier Anatoly Cherdenko in *Red Alert 3*, and Arl Howe in *Dragon Age: Origins*. However, for fans of heavy metal and quirky action-adventure, he was the voice of the deliciously villainous Doviculus in Double Fine’s cult classic, *Brütal Legend*.

In a fittingly metal tribute to his passing, *Brütal Legend* is currently being offered for free for a very special, devilish duration: 666 minutes! This is a fantastic opportunity for gamers in Pakistan to experience this unique title, whether you’re a long-time fan or just discovering its over-the-top charm. You can download it right away or simply claim it to add to your library for later.

Doviculus, the Emperor of the Tainted Coil, was the main antagonist of *Brütal Legend*, a character designed to be both imposing and a little… kinky. Interestingly, the role was originally envisioned for heavy metal legend Ronnie James Dio. However, Double Fine’s Tim Schafer knew they found the perfect voice in Tim Curry. Schafer once shared how Curry’s unique ability to deliver lines that could convey both pain and delight made him the ideal choice for the character, who truly revelled in his villainy.

This isn’t the first time Double Fine has offered *Brütal Legend* as a special giveaway. They previously made the game free for the same 666-minute period in honor of Ozzy Osbourne, who also makes a cameo in the game as the Guardian of Metal shopkeeper. It’s a testament to the game’s rock-and-roll spirit and the respect Double Fine has for the legends who contribute to their work.

So, if you want to pay your respects to Tim Curry’s incredible talent and grab an awesome game in the process, make sure you claim *Brütal Legend* while this limited-time tribute lasts. You’ve got just a few hours left to snag it!
