Behind the Music of Gangs of Sherwood
In anticipation of the upcoming release of the co-op action-adventure game Gangs of Sherwood, NACON and Appeal Studios have dropped a fresh video, diving into the game’s immersive original soundtrack. Gamers across the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC platforms can expect this title to hit the virtual shelves on 30 November, with availability on both the Epic Games Store and Steam.
Soundtrack Synergy: Medieval Meets Modern
Markus Zierhofer, the musical maestro behind Gangs of Sherwood, offers gamers a sneak peek into the creative process of the game’s soundtrack. Merging the medieval with the modern, the soundtrack is a harmonious blend fitting for the game’s unique science-fantasy setting. The use of traditional instruments like the Stroh violin and hurdy-gurdy, distorted to echo both ancient and contemporary tones, sets the stage for a sonic experience that transcends time.
Adaptive Music for Intense Gameplay
Zierhofer’s approach to the soundtrack isn’t just about the fusion of eras. It’s crafted to dynamically align with the in-game action. The music escalates in intensity with the gameplay, layering up during massive enemy encounters or as players’ combo gauges surge. This adaptive musical scoring promises to enrich the gaming experience, making every battle and exploration segment more engaging.
