The Diablo series has some instantly recognizable audio. The sound of gold dropping, the sound of potions. There’s a lot we all fell in love with over the decades. So how do they make all those Diablo 4 sounds?
It’s incredibly hard to get sounds just right in any video game. It’s an area of game development that I think never gets enough recognition. Audio is everything; it pulls you into the world and transports you to another reality. To demonstrate how it’s been done in Diablo 4, a new video is available in which the sound team explains the process behind its creation. Well worth a watch.
