EA Montreal has announced that renowned film composer Tyler Bates will be creating the score for upcoming action video game sequel, Army of Two: The 40th Day.
Bates, best known for his work on blockbuster movies 300 and Watchmen, has worked on over 50 films and is one of Hollywood’s most sought-after composers.
“Set in Shanghai in the middle of a major a disaster, Army of Two: The 40th Day dials up the action through a series of powerful scenes where players have to work together as a team to survive and escape the city,” said Lewis James, Audio Director at EA Montreal. “Tyler examined every part of the game and how players will move through the world to craft a score that truly represents their actions and the chaos unfolding around them.”
“The 40th Day is one of the most intense games I’ve seen,” said Tyler Bates. “The setting, characters and action in the game provided me the perfect backdrop to create an equally intense and dramatic score that compliments the gameplay.”
Army of Two: The 40th Day is in development for Xbox 360, PS3 and PSP and will ship in Europe on January 8, 2010.
