Cris Velasco, the award-winning composer best known for his music in God of War, the Mass Effect franchise and Borderlands 2, will be scoring Relic Entertainment’s Company of Heroes 2.
Aiming to recreate the loss of life and heroism of World War II on the Eastern Front, Velasco’s score features a world-class choir and orchestra from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and Hungary.
“I approached this score from the very beginning as more of a ‘Symphony for the Eastern Front’ rather than a typical game score,” said Cris Velasco. “The music sets out to convey the horror of war and the determination of the Russian soldiers.”
“Cris worked tirelessly to provide us with rich and compelling music that is unlike any game soundtrack I have ever heard. From the depths of the Russian winter to the epic scale of Eastern Front battles, the score supports the game in a truly cinematic way and we couldn’t be happier with the result,” said Relic Entertainment Audio Director David Renn.
Company of Heroes 2 is set for release on June 25, 2013 for the PC. Stay with us for updates on and where to get the original soundtrack from Cris Velasco.
