From GameSpy:

Any news about Halo Wars is good news right? In that spirit, Ensemble Studios announced today that its chosen [Montreal based] Audiokinetic’s Wwise — WaveWorks Interactive Sound Engine — as its audio pipeline solution. The software helps developers blend sound effects, render effects, generate sound banks for use within a game, as well as several other editing tools for sound designers and programmers.

"Wwise is playing a major role in helping Ensemble Studios create the engaging audio experience that we feel Halo Wars deserves," says Kevin McMullan, Music/Sound Lead, Ensemble Studios. "The first thing that stood out for us about Wwise was just how well it was designed. Because the support team was so open, responsive and helpful, the integration of Wwise into our development environment was incredibly smooth and easy."
