Will the Wilhelm scream appear in Star Citizen or Squadron 42?

Maybe it's already in there.

Phil Peers-SmallwoodLead Sound Designer

Oh, no, it's not. Absolutely not. No. We understand it's a trope and stuff, but essentially it was an in-joke of the sound designer from Star Wars, Ben Burtt, putting it in a lot of films, and it being just recognizable. A lot of people do it. But if you're aware of it, you'll be in the experience watching the film or playing the game, and as soon as you hear it, you're just taken out of the experience. The emotion is kind of broken, because you hear this dialogue asset that's been in so many other things. So I don't think it would find a place in either of the projects. But dialogue is Bob's domain. Maybe he really wants it and we can do it, you know.
