Developer Owlcat Games has taken to the Steam page of the upcoming turn-based cRPG Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader to talk about music. Each theme went through a vetting process at the studio and Games Workshop. It took Owlcats about 5 months to find the right sound for the main theme.
The choir is the main theme’s centerpiece. The creators have recorded a live professional choir for the orchestral version. Check out the videos down below to hear and see it all in action.
The game features a great variety of worlds and locations, and the team used every possible artistic means to reflect how out of the ordinary they are — whether it be the voidship, Footfall, the alien jungle of Janus, or any of the other biomes and settings. For each world, the developers sought to highlight their uniqueness through the music.
“Every component of a game matters. An engaging story, believable and memorable characters, balanced gameplay, unique features, and an impressive visual aesthetic are all prominent aspects that grab players’ attention. However, there’s one more element that binds everything together and brings immersion to the next level. Music and sound design are one of our studio’s signature touches.”
Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader is coming to PC, Xbox Series S|X, and PlayStation 5 on 7 December 2023. The game is currently available in the Closed Beta version.
