MassiveMusic, the agency of record and music partner for some of the leading brands in the world, has created a thrilling soundtrack for the trailer of Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Bloody Ties. The first-person survival horror game, created by Techland and released in February 2022, is releasing extra features in its Bloody Ties DLC edition.
With re-recordings as one of the services the music agency offers, MassiveMusic Warsaw put together a selection of evergreen songs with lyrics that would fit the game scenario. ‘Born To Be Wild’ turned out to be the preferred option by Techland to use as a soundtrack. The musical creatives in Poland re-recorded a hard rock version to match the trailer’s visual timing and to match the overall mood of the game.
The final soundtrack includes heavy drums and guitars, together with a variety of vocals. The recognisable notes in the beginning help the audience feel familiar with the music – one of the main requests by Techland – while the emotions build up together with the narrative of the trailer.
In addition to having characteristic male voices in the soundtrack, MassiveMusic also opted for a mysterious female vocal. Mateusz Szmigiero, creative director at MassiveMusic Warsaw, says: “By adding female vocals, we not only wanted to add depth and uniqueness to the overall sound, but also highlight the presence of women in the gaming world.”
Dying Light 2 Stay Human: Bloody Ties is the first official story DLC with additional content and extra features. The Bloody Ties release date is set for 10th November 2022.
