Free is Good: Atlus Gives Zeno Clash Ultimate Soundtrack Away

Atlus has long been known for spoiling its fans. Well, they’re here to do it again with a limited time free download of the soundtrack for Zeno Clash Ultimate Edition. This is a change of pace from the slew of pre-order bonus soundtracks they’ve released, as this is available to everyone without purchasing the game. This is especially cool when you consider that the soundtrack was on sale for $9.99 in its physical format.

Regarding the soundtrack, composer Patricio Meneses provides approximately 64 minutes music across 18 tracks. The music has a rather retro vibe to it that I enjoyed a whole lot as I skimmed through the album. I’m reminded of some of the dark atmospheres that I loved so much in the King’s Field series.

In any case, head on over to the official Zeno Clash website for the free download (do it before May 31!), and check out the official press release after the jump.
