Michael shares with us how the magic of Ara’s audio mix is generated from the very fabric of the game world, including the Improvements, citizens, and animals. All of these elements are woven together to create a complete and immersive soundscape that makes you feel like you are stepping right into history.
But there's more! Ara's musical scores are a masterpiece in themselves. Each score is recorded in five layers, which automatically adjust to provide players with a unique mix based on their choices. It's an auditory experience tailored to your gameplay, and it's bound to leave you in awe.
To top it off, we've got a preview of Ara's soundtrack available right now on Spotify and other music streaming platforms. It's the perfect way to get a taste of the auditory masterpiece that awaits you in-game.
