Troy Baker, a renowned voice actor known for his roles in “The Last of Us,” “Bioshock Infinite,” and “Death Stranding,” is taking on a new challenge as the lead in the upcoming game “Mouse: P.I. For Hire.” Baker will voice Jack Pepper, a war-hero-turned-detective mouse in a noir-inspired world. The game, developed by Fumi Games and published by PlaySide Studios, is a 3D first-person shooter set in the corrupt city of Mouseburg. The story begins when a classic “dame” arrives at Jack’s door with a problem for him to solve.
As he investigates, Jack uncovers murder, corruption, and more throughout the city. “Mouse: P.I. For Hire” is visually striking, with its classic cartoon aesthetics reminiscent of the 1930s style seen in games like “Cuphead.” The game draws inspiration from noir films of the era, capturing the atmosphere perfectly.

Despite the cartoonish characters, the action in “Mouse: P.I.” is intense. Jack Pepper is well-armed with an arsenal that includes shotguns, Tommy guns, and even bazookas. Enemies meet gruesome fates as Jack begins the task of cleaning up Mouseburg.
“Mouse: P.I. For Hire” is planned for release later this year on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and PC. With Troy Baker’s voice acting and the game’s unique blend of noir and classic cartoon style, it promises to be an engaging and memorable experience for players.
