God of War Playstation Soundtrack Available for Pre-Order

On April 20th, the newest iteration of the God of War franchise will be releasing exclusively for the Playstation 4 to high anticipation of fans. The new title will also be scored by The Walking Dead and Defiance composer Bear McCreary. Now we know that the game’s soundtrack will be releasing shortly after the game itself for fans to enjoy.

The God of War (Playstation Soundtrack) will be published by Sony Classical as a subsidiary of Sony Music Entertainment. It will be available on Presto Classical on April 20th, the same day as the game’s release, and on April 27th on Amazon. McCreary showcased some of the game’s orchestral composition live at the Sony Press Conference at E3 2016.

The holy grail of videogame composition is creating for the player the feeling of a conductor watching the gameplay and cueing an orchestra to follow in real time. I joked with Cory [Barlog] later that we were spoiling him: he’ll never want to play a videogame without orchestral accompaniment again. – Bear McCreary

The soundtrack to God of War is currently available now for pre-order and will be available later this month. We will keep track of it’s release and will keep updated with more details as they become available.

Update 4/10/18: Our friends at VGMO have learned that Sony pushed their release back a week from the original date, so it looks like April 27th is the current release date for all outlets. Presto Classical has yet to update their listing with this new information but Amazon is still accurate.
