I have been anticipating the soundtrack to Battletech since 2016. Jon Everist discussed his work on the score in an interview last year which you can read here if you missed it. The soundtrack will be released on April 24, 2018 coinciding with the release of the game which is also available for pre-order on Steam.
The album contains 60 tracks, featuring over 3 hours of music from Harebrained Schemes epic turn-based tactical game. You can listen to the samples below including the music from the game’s opening cinematic.
The music was performed by the Budapest Symphonic Scoring Orchestra, the Brandenburg State Orchestra Frankfurt, and the Live Choir was recorded with members of the Latvian Radio Choir. The album also features solo performances by cellist Erika Kádi and vocalist Emily Ridgway.
The soundtrack is available to order directly on Jon Everist’s bandcamp page digitally for $8.99. Check back with OSV for more on Jon Everist’s music, including an upcoming review of his Shadowrun: Hong Kong soundtrack on Vinyl LP.
Are you excited for Battletech?
