Halodeveloper 343 Industries has provided fans with a behind-the-scenes look at how the studio has gone about capturing audio for in-game explosions inHalo Infinite. Specifically, a two-minute long video was posted to the Halo Twitter account that shows 343 Industries' audio team setting up, triggering, and then recording the audio from explosives in abandoned or out-of-the-way areas. You can watch the video below.

This isn’t the first time we’ve gotten a sneak peak at Halo Infinite’s soundscape. Last year, 343 Industriesshowcased how a pug named Gyozawas contributing some creepy alien-like sounds, andseveral of the tracks from the game’s score have been released as well. Overall, it’s looking like audio is a big part of what will make Halo Infinite special, and it’s neat to get behind-the-scenes looks like these that remind us of how much effort and energy goes into making big-budget titles.
What do you think of the explosion sound effect showcase? Do you hear any sounds that are familiar to you as a Halo player? Personally, I think quite a few of the explosions would work excellently as sound effects for the Scorpion tank, but we’ll have to wait and see (or rather, hear) how the audio is used when Halo Infinite is released.
Halo Infinite is expected to launch in 2021 onXbox Series X,Xbox Series S, Xbox One consoles, and Windows 10 PCs. It was originally slated to release in 2020, but it was delayed, which weultimately thought was a good move. In the meantime, we highly recommend the Master Chief Collection, as it offers all of the older Halo shooter games (aside from Halo 5) in one well-priced package.
A new Great Journey awaits
Halo Infinite is sure to be an incredible game filled with wonder, adventure, and more.
Experience the entirety of Halo history
The Master Chief Collection is a collection of every Halo shooter from the pre-Xbox One era, offering incredible value at an incredible price.
