"This is the story of a man named Stanley."

While it may be difficult to nail down The Stanley Parable and what exactly the story even is, the narrator is definitely a recognizable aspect of Galactic Cafe's hit game. If you're looking for more from this delightfully British accent, you'll be happy to hear that The Stanley Parable's narrator will soon be available in Dota 2 as a downloadable announcer pack.

Creator Davey Wreden tweeted (via Eurogamer), "Sitting down with [co-developer William Pugh] to begin writing the Stanley Parable Dota 2 announcer pack."

The Stanley Parable's narrator (voiced by Kevan Brighting) joins a Dota 2 announcer roster that also includes, among others, beloved Portal character GLaDOS. No word on when the new announcer pack will arrive.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
