When our partners at Garena told us about the Naruto Shippuden crossover with their hit mobile title #FreeFire, we jumped at the chance to compose music that would be as bold as the collaboration itself! 🔥 Our audio team at #SideMontreal had a blast composing and producing an adrenaline-pumping rock ballad, layered with orchestral textures and Japanese musical influences to capture the intensity of this epic mashup. Get ready to crank up the volume—this one’s a head-banger. 💥🤘 Watch and listen to the full trailer below! #GameAudio #VGM #NarutoShippuden

Have you dared to face the brutal action of 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗿: 𝗞𝗵𝗮𝘇𝗮𝗻? 💢 Our Audio team were thrilled to team up with NEOPLE and Nexon America to bring this new, epic Souls-like RPG to life. We provided Casting, Recording, Directing, and Post Production, working with the one and only Ben Starr 🌟 as Khazan. It's brought us such pride to see the positive reception as the game has made its way into players' hands! "There's plenty of cinematic flair, but the excellent voice work hammers home the game's setting and atmosphere. Ben Starr, who also voiced Clive Rosfield in Final Fantasy XVI, is Khazan, and he depicts the character as an honorable man reluctantly coming to grips with his tarnished legacy." - PCMag.com "All this is brought to you with exceptional voice work, particularly from Ben Starr, who voices both Khazan and the Blade Phantom. Other characters also provide excellent voice work..." - PSU.com Check out the launch trailer here! https://bit.ly/4cpW6KM #Khazan #DNF #GameLaunch #GameAudio

Assassin's Creed Shadows is out for the world to enjoy! 🏯 Massive congratulations to all the teams at Ubisoft on this highly anticipated entry in the Assassin's Creed series. In addition to recording many of the ensemble cast in London and LA, we got to host a special contest at our #SideLondon studio: Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Dubbing Challenge, which allowed 7 lucky participants to be flown in from 7 different countries to record 7 languages with us—getting the chance to voice an NPC in the game! 🎙️ Check out some behind-the-scenes from that day here: https://bit.ly/4c3n1ff   We're also proud to have supported on #QA, #CommunityManagement, #Localization, and #AudioLocalization in Japanese.

We're thrilled to share that 𝗜𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗞𝗔 won “Best Dialogue for an Indie Game” at last week’s Game Audio Network Guild Awards! 🏆 It was a pleasure collaborating with Odd Meter and 11 bit studios S.A. to provide voice production for this surreal, story-driven horror game.   Acting as a strategic audio partner for indies is always a real treat, especially for games as unique as INDIKA. But don’t just take our word for it—hear and see for yourself in the gameplay trailer: https://bit.ly/4j2yTAk   From casting to post-production, our London studio worked closely with the developers on every step of dialogue production.
