Bethesda Releases The First Track From Prey's Official OST

Dom Peppiatt

If DOOM was celebrated for its soundtrack, we get the feeling Prey is going to be, too - the game's official OST has been put together by the same composer that produced DOOM's music, Mick Gordon.

Gordon has confirmed he'll be working on Prey's soundtrack a while ago, though he'll be taking a pretty different approach to the survival game in space than he did with last year's most gruesome shooter.

"Prey is a great departure from that [metal style] actually," Gordon responded when PC Gamer asked him about what other sorts of music he's keen to explore. "It’s more thought-provoking, there are more Western sounds… Spaghetti Western elements mixed in with synths and things like that. [Arkane’s] approach hasn’t been to get me to write a bunch of combat music or fighting music. Instead, Raphael [Colantonio, Prey director] would just give me a concept.

"He’ll say, 'You’re floating in space, what does that sound like?' That’s great because I can spend two minutes working on what that feels like. Or else he’ll say, 'You’re sad, you miss your family because you’re lost somewhere.' He’ll explain that and I’ll go from there."

You can hear these bluegrass influences in the new piece of music embedded below:

Prey launches for Xbox One, PS4 and PC on 5th May.

  • Goddamn, I'm liking that. If we're getting this sort of feel and consistency across the entire game, this will be one stunning soundtrack.
  • GODLIKE!!!
  • wow. epic beat!
  • Wow. Might get the soundtrack.
  • Getting a 80s vib here.
  • Heard this on Spotify and I can't get enough of it. Didn't think much on who did it until I looked at the name. The thought that goes through my head is as follows: 'Mick Gordon?!...Sonofabitch!' :):):) All in all, hearing this has got me HYPED!!! Can't wait to hear the rest when the game comes out
