Ringmaster Announcer



Voiced by: Ryan McWilley

Official Description
Ladies and Gentlenauts, welcome to Cirque du Brawlee! It's a brand new show in the greatest big top of the galaxy. Step right up, step right up!

The Zork family is proud to present you tonight's entertainment: a feast of slaughter, daring adventures, and violence! We'll keep you on the edge of your seat as the intrepid heroes perform for you in our Circus. Witness the marvel of twenty Nauts plunging through the air - sans safety net! Gasp when you see our throng of clowns plummet to their seeming deaths, all to make you laugh, dear paying audience! But don't worry, all of it is completely safe... for you!

The "Ringmaster" Announcer can be activated from the character select menu or the in-game menu. Activating this Announcer will replace the default announcements made during regular gameplay with a whole new set.
