Well, here we are with Jeremy Soule’s triumphant return to Square Enix. I suppose it’s not in the way that any of us would have expected, but hey, we’ll take what we can get. For those who are totally out of the loop (and I don’t blame you), Order of War is Square Enix’s upcoming World War II RTS title for the PC. With that in mind, you’re not going to hear your typical Jeremy Soule RPG score here.
What you are going to hear is tense World War II action from start to finish. Jeremy Soule plays the part perfectly, which is surprising in that we haven’t heard this sound from him before, but unsurprising because he is an amazingly talented composer who has seemingly been type-casted for scoring RPG scores despite his versatility. Bombastic orchestral volleys and tense instrumental interludes will provide no safe haven this time around, as you’re in for some of Jeremy Soule’s most intense work to date.
