Troy Baker Plays Detective Mouse in New Game

Today's Summer Game Fest unveiled a brand new trailer, giving us our first taste of the legendary voice actor Troy Baker in his newest part: a sleuthing mouse, the main character of MOUSE: P.I. For Hire.

In MOUSE, Baker embodies private eye Jack Pepper, a war hero who became a detective, and yes, he's a mouse. The plot kicks off when a classic femme fatale arrives at his doorstep with a case, but his investigation spirals as he uncovers murder, corruption, and more across the city of Mouseburg.

MOUSE is a visually arresting 3D first-person shooter with a classic cartoon aesthetic, reminiscent of the retro look seen in Cuphead. Drawing inspiration from 1930s noir cinema, it perfectly captures the era's style.

Baker is celebrated for his extensive portfolio in major gaming titles, including his performances as Joel in The Last of Us, Indiana Jones in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Booker DeWitt in Bioshock Infinite, Sam Drake in Uncharted 4, and Higgs Monaghan in Death Stranding and its forthcoming sequel, Death Stranding 2.

MOUSE: P.I. for Hire is slated to launch this year on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and PC. Development is being handled by Fumi Games.
