Today, Audiokinetic announced that they have signed a licensing agreement with Rare Ltd. Under terms of this agreement, the U.K. developer will gain access to the audio pipeline solution Wwise. Rare, who has used proprietary technology for audio in the past, is switching to Audiokinetic's technology after an extensive evaluation.

"Wwise offers an unmatched feature set, yet it is still a very intuitive solution," says Robin Beanland, Head of Music, Rare Ltd. "Day after day, we realize that Wwise has got absolutely everything we need: real-time auditioning, advanced profiling capabilities, a comprehensive interactive music feature set, etc. It's all there and totally straight forward."

"One of our projects developed with Wwise has a very short development cycle," added Beanland. "Since day 1, the Audiokinetic team has been amazing in supporting us, making sure that no time is wasted. They're as dedicated to our project as we are, and it is very comforting to know that we have an extra team of 25 people to rely on."
