It sure “sounds” like something new is happening with Helios 3 over at the Zone booth this year!

I mean that literally, as the sounds of the pack are a bit different now that Zone has incorporated a new AI self-help feature along with some cool new audio themes as part of the Helios 3 system.

This is a clever way of helping a player along during the game with nudges about what they must do to complete the game objectives. The pack can let you know if you are near a base, if you haven’t fully destroyed the base, and even suggests that you move around if you have been staying still for too long. Grant Collins, the Chief Sales Officer for Zone filled me in on all the details about this feature and some other updates before showing me the new themes.

So, what exactly do these new audio themes sound like? Well I got a demo of a few options including the cowboy, the robot and the goblin themes while tagging around the Zone booth during the show.
