Indiana Jones and the Golden Circle puts you right into shoes of Indiana Jones in the globe spanning adventures right after the events of Raiders of the Lost Ark. It captures the ethos of the movies perfectly as a first person adventure game that includes exploration, puzzles, stealth infiltration, melee combat and gunplay.

Alistair Hirst from Dolby Laboratories sits down with Audio Director Pete Ward to discuss what it took to immerse a new audience in the style and tone of the original films in a new medium. From the signature sounds of Indy's whip, punches and witty repartee to reimagining the classic score in a new interactive medium, they will cover the various aspects of creating and implementing the audio for the game.
