Frontier Foundry and Petroglyph have revealed the creation of the stunning score for their upcoming World War I real-time strategy game, The Great War: Western Front. The game developers invite players to take a behind-the-scenes look at the evocative soundtrack in a featurette titled ‘Scoring the Western Front’.
Players will join award-winning Composer and Audio Director Frank Klepacki and FAME’S Skopje Studio Orchestra conductor Sasho Tatarchevski for an exciting first look at the creative journey. The footage captured live at the orchestra’s home in Skopje showcases the creation of the game’s soundtrack.
The 74-piece world-class orchestra takes center stage across 31 original tracks, and each section carries the intensity of a myriad of emotions. Complimented by a 24-piece choir, the delicate tonal balance of a complex war is reflected in each piece, immersing players into the weight of the decisions they will make as both Theatre Commander and Field Commander.
The final soundtrack was mastered at London’s iconic Abbey Road Studios under the stewardship of Grammy-nominated engineer Simon Gibson, renowned for his work across 5.1 surround projects spanning legendary production music, film scores, and television.
The Great War: Western Front – Victory Edition includes a copy of the stunning soundtrack, alongside the game, a digital field guide containing additional intelligence to assist players in refining their tactics, and five digital wallpapers featuring a selection of hand-drawn concept art and motifs.
The Great War: Western Front will launch on March 30 on PC. Players can pre-order now on Steam and the Epic Games Store for a suggested retail price of £29.99/€34.99/$34.99 and £34.99/€39.99/$39.99 for the Victory Edition.
