The ArenaNet audio team has been creating videos for our Behind the Sound series, which you can watch on the official Guild Wars 2 YouTube channel. But next Friday, at 5:30 PM UTC (2:30 PM Pacific Time), they’ll take it to the next level at the Hydra Theatre. If you have a PAX badge, you can attend the panel titled “Go Behind the Sound of Video Games with ArenaNet” and see Audio Director Drew Cady, along with Sound Designers Jerry Schroeder and Joseph Clark, as they show you how the sounds of Guild Wars 2 are created. There will even be an opportunity for a few attendees to be part of a recording session that could be used in a future release!

The panel will be broadcast live on the official Guild Wars 2 Twitch channel.
