The Xbox Series X – 343 Industries exclusive Halo Infinite is closer than ever. The latest Halo title will be released in Fall 2021; While fans await the more exciting Xbox release, 343 has preoccupied them with some anecdotes.
The studio allowed fans to participate in the game’s development process. Previously, 343 talked about how the game harnessed the full potential of the X series, along with talks about the Battle Royale mode and great news about the game’s content.
The latest news can be found all over Halo Infinite’s sound design. 343 Industries promises to innovate in audio technology with hardware included with the Xbox Series X. Halo combat gets even more immersive with virtual surround sound, as players can now hear exactly where enemies are.
Sound designer Halo Infinite first explains the new franchise feature
Virtual surround sound means that players obtain spatial information about their enemies through the sound. Whether it’s steps, bullets, reloading sounds, vehicles or anything else, players will know exactly where the sound is coming from. You feel like they are in the middle of the battlefield.
Halo Infinite will be the first Halo title to support Dolby Atmos, Windows Sonic and DTS Headphone: X virtual surround sound technologies. With these spatial audio technologies we can make the sound feel like they are being played behind or above you while wearing only stereo headphones.
The approach the recent Halo title has taken to make this happen is pretty cool. The engineers have separated the spatial and non-spatial sound. This difference is clearly audible when players use headphones or a surround sound system.
Halo’s audio team intends to preserve the franchise’s legacy
Another important vision comes true Audioteam Halo Infinite covers their in-game goals. The team carefully scrutinized all the comments since Halo 5. One of the things they got loud and clear is that players want to get back to their roots.
Our primary goals for Halo Infinite are to re-capture the essence of Halo’s heritage and amplify the excitement and impact of Halo combat.
With these goals in mind, the sound designers have carefully taken care of the game’s sound. Engineers have worked passionately to make vision a reality, and it will be a great experience for Halo fans once the game finally comes out.
