Riot Games skal snart skjemme bort League of Legends-spillerne med en helt ny lydmotor som skal forbedre klarheten i samtalene, musikken og lydeffektene i tillegg til å tilby støtte for surround. Dessuten takler den nye motoren filene bedre, noe som kan ha en positiv effekt på ytelsen. De har forklart det hele mer omfattende på spillets offisielle hjemmeside:
"Basically, we're transitioning over to a new tool to control the voices, music and sound effects in League of Legends", skriver senior sound designer Adam Swanson.
"When we move to the new engine, there'll be subtle clarity improvements to the in-game sounds, proper support for Surround Sound and adjustments to how we implement stereo panning/imaging. You may also see slight performance gains with memory management."
League of Legends kommer altså til å låte moderne og bra i det lange løp ettersom ny lyd vil spilles inn spesielt for den nye teknologien.
"The biggest gains will come further down the road: our new engine opens the door for us to explore more ideas for how we create and use sound effects, voices and music in League of Legends, allowing us to create a more expansive and immersive experience. We've grown a lot the past few years and hope to be playing League of Legends many more years from now. This change makes our game more scalable for the long term."
