We’re finally in August and the countdown to Aliens: Fireteam Elite’s August 24th release begins! I briefly mentioned Austin Wintory’s soundtrack in our recent hands-on preview of Cold Iron’s upcoming game. Now the composer has shared a preview of the game’s score!
With immense pleasure, I can officially reveal my role as composer in Cold Iron’s new squad shooter ALIENS FIRETEAM ELITE. This franchise is among my all-time favorites, whose original musical foundations were laid by the towering trio of Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner and Elliot Goldenthal. The goal here was to channel the magic of what they created and hopefully add some new surprises.

Sometimes I forget I can read music. That was a fun way of putting that out!
Thats wierd. I dont remember germanic languages sung in the soundtrack but ok.

The score for Aliens: Colonial Marines did a nice job of that too. It was one of the few unqualifiedly great things about that game, and we were lucky enough to have the composer offer the whole thing free to download.
I've really enjoyed Austin Wintory's music in the past, looking forward to hearing more.
I'm really looking forward to seeing this get out there and hearing people's opinions on the Engineer stuff.
It does do that.
