After missing its expected launch date earlier this year, computer game audio software FMOD Studio is set for release within a week.

The software forms part of a game’s engine and will be used in current and next generation console titles as well as computer and mobile platforms.

“From the outset we’ve wanted to push the technical boundaries of audio on consoles, so we definitely expect a lot of next-gen titles to really push the limits of what’s possible” says Raymond Biggs, the Project Lead.

The previous version of the software, FMOD Ex, is used in games ranging from Plants vs. Zombies to StarCraft II and even Second Life.
