'We're taking the atmospherics in the world up, so you can hear the wind blowing through the streets and the rustling in the jungle. Sounds like a dream! And where would we be without an aural upgrade to boot? While the sound effects themselves remain as per the original, we can expect 'a complete audio remaster in Dolby Surround 7.1 sound.'

In order to do this, you will need to have your account linked on all the systems that you wish to carry progression across.
