Razer™, a world leader in
connected devices and software for gamers, and independent game developer inXile™, creators of popular titles such as
Wasteland™ and The Bard’s Tale™, today announced a partnership that will see
Wasteland 2™, launching today, integrate Razer Surround.
Razer Surround gives
gamers an enhanced virtual 7.1 channel surround sound experience with
any stereo headphones at no charge. Using state-of-the-art technology,
the surround sound algorithms powering Razer
Surround create a remarkably accurate surround sound environment and
allow gamers to calibrate positional sound to match their own unique
preferences. No account registration or installation of additional
software is required for the integration.
“I’ve always been a
big fan of Wasteland, so it was extremely rewarding to work closely with
an industry great like Brian Fargo,” says Min-Liang Tan, Razer
co-founder and CEO. “With Razer Surround,
Wasteland 2 can be enjoyed to the fullest, even by users that don’t have a full surround sound setup.”
Brian Fargo, founder
of inXile, says: "I’ve watched Razer and Min grow to become titans in
the gaming industry, so when the opportunity to work with them came
about, I jumped at it. Razer Surround is able
to stimulate the listening senses and will offer our players a way to
further immerse themselves into the post-apocalyptic world that is
Wasteland 2.”
Fargo and inXile are
also looking to integrate other Razer SDKs into the game, including the
newly announced Chroma SDK that offers intelligent lighting effects
with Razer Chroma keyboards, mice and headsets.
inXile is a
participant in Razer’s Indie Development Program that promotes the
gaming industry by supporting independent developers with hardware and
