In the recent Inside Infinite, audio team developers–Sotaro Tojima, Chase Thompson, Kyle Fraser, and Joel Yarger–discussed their latest updates and plans for Halo Infinite as well as what they’ve learned from older games. Thompson mentioned how the team developed “new audio systems and technologies we’ve developed” to create greater spatial awareness and an immersive experience for players. He discussed a little bit of the process of how using reverb and propagation can provide a natural soundscape reflecting the way sound would travel in the virtual atmosphere.

They also partnered with three composers to create the audio for the campaign which will feature “brighter and hopeful” music featuring more major keys. Each of the composers has their own unique set of skills ranging from choral, synths, and piano composing to directing orchestras. The team hopes to bring a new but also familiar sound to players as they traverse through the game.

Finally, the team shared their hopes for the game and thanked the Halo community for their feedback. They mentioned there last few months will be spent polishing and refining content and more to make the game the best it can be. Starting today, fans of the series can stream three songs available on Spotify.
