COMPOSER NOTES
When I found out that there was going to be an addition to the game I was again asked to write some more music and I couldn’t have been happier. When the only direction the creative directors give you is to write “epic, hopeful music” you know it’s going to be a fantastic experience! This truly was a joy to work on and I’m very proud of the music I composed for this game.
