It seems that news about Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics' upcoming MARVEL's Avengers just won't stop being released today, which is always great news for those players who simply can't wait until the game finally becomes available in a mere 3 and a half weeks from today.
While the developers have shared quite the handful of details about the highly anticiapted via trailers, interviews, and the more recent War Table presentations, there are still some details about MARVEL's Avengers that have yet to be revealed.
Today Variety has reported that MARVEL's Avengers soundtrack will be produced by Bobby Tahouri, who players may recognise as the man who composed the soundtracks for Square Enix's Rise of the Tomb Raider and Activision's Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark.
"What made composing for 'MARVEL's Avengers' so special is that I got to write music for so many unique superheroes, all in one game. After coming up with one Avengers theme, I designed a palette of sounds and instruments specific to each superhero," Tahouri revealed in a recent interview with Variety.
"I especially enjoyed coming up with his palette of various guitars and bass tones to match his confidence and swagger," explained Tahouri by revealing that the Avenger he enjoyed scoring for the most was none other than The Invincible Iron Man.
Interestingly enough, Tahouri's IMDb profile reveals that he also worked on the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Iron Man as part of the movie's music department, so he may have also gained some experience working on the sound for the critically acclaimed film.
Crystal Dynamics' Jack Grillo, Lead Sound Designer for MARVEL's Avengers, has some nice words to say about Bobby Tahouri's work on the game's soundtrack — revealing that he got chills when he heard his final rendition of soundtrack.
"Working with Bobby was amazing," Grillo explains. "He immediately took to the challenge and always understood what we were going for. Bobby's themes are unique and inspiring. I've been working with some of these pieces regularly for the past five years and I still got the chills when I heard the final masters for this soundtrack."
Below you can listen to Bobby Tahouri's "Every Hero Has to Start Somewhere" tune from the MARVEL's Avengers' soundtrack, to get a better idea of what to expect from the game's full score once it finally hits store shelves on Friday the 4th of September.
Marvel’s Avengers begins at A-Day, where Captain America, Iron Man, the Hulk, Black Widow, and Thor are unveiling a hi-tech Avengers Headquarters in San Francisco — including the reveal of their own helicarrier powered by an experimental energy source. The celebration turns deadly when a catastrophic accident results in massive devastation. Blamed for the tragedy, the Avengers disband. Five years later, with all Super Heroes outlawed and the world in peril, the only hope is to reassemble Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
MARVEL's Avengers will be available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia on Friday the 4th of September; PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X release date to be determined.
