New sound effects: fast cars, ancient castles, historic cottages, doors, dazzling games โ€“ and High Fantasy worlds

By Asbjoern Andersen
This week on A Sound Effect, we have six new libraries to enhance your game worlds and scenes with authentic and imaginatively designed qualities. You can hear cars roaring by with memorable engine growls, futuristic doors cracked in cyberpunk missions, and dazzling mobile game SFX that pay homage to PopCap.

There is also a variety of new ambiences and props for all sorts of fantastic worlds, whether they be set in old European cottages, ancient castles, or villages protected from orcs or draugrs.

For sounds you definitely canโ€™t get in your backyard, these libraries have the details to transport your audience to another world.
