Deus Ex: Mankind Divided Adds Sascha Dikiciyan to Compose

The upcoming game Deus Ex: Mankind Divided will be adding some more manpower to its original soundtrack. Beyond Michael McCann (Deus Ex: Human Revolution) returning to compose for the game, award-winning artist Sascha Dikiciyan (aka Sonic Mayhem) will also be brought in to compose select tracks for the game’s score.

Dikiciyan has a sizable repertoire under his belt, having contributed to the soundtracks of games like Quake II, Borderlands 2, Mass Effect 3 and several others. He collaborates with other composers (such as Cris Velasco of Bloodborne and Battleborne) under the name Sonic Mayhem to create much of his works.

It was important for us to build upon the strong foundation of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, but also to let it stand on its own. Along the way, we realized this game was much vaster than anticipated and we made the choice to add another composer to the team. Sascha Dikiciyan’s music stood out. After talking with Sascha, it became clear that we shared the same vision and passion for what musically drives Deus Ex. ” – Steve Szczepkowski, Executive Audio Director

You can hear Dikiciyan’s work within the recent trailers for Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, which comes out in August with the soundrack to follow shortly thereafter on Sumthing Else Music Works.
