Medal of Honor Airborne gets award-winning composer

EA has announced that Michael Giacchino has scored the music for the latest entry in the Medal of Honor franchise.

Giacchino is an award-winning director known for his work on the TV series Lost and Alias, and the motion pictures Mission Impossible III, The Incredibles and Ratatouille.

Giacchino is also the original composer and creator of the memorable theme music for the Medal of Honor series.

"I'm very excited to have the opportunity to work on a game that tells such an epic, honest story. The Medal of Honor Airborne team is a very talented group of people and working with them on creating music to fit their innovative game was a true highlight for me," said Giacchino. "Video games are another vehicle to tell a story, and music plays a vital role in that."

Medal of Honor Airborne is scheduled for release across Europe on August 28 for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
