Award Winning Composer Creates Gun-Slinging, Sword-Swinging Soundtrack for Ubisoft’s Action Fighting Video Game on Nintendo WiiTM

New York, March 17, 2010 – Renowned composer Tom Salta has written and produced an original musical score for Red Steel™ 2, Ubisoft’s new first-person action title developed exclusively for the Nintendo Wii™ and designed with full Wii MotionPlus™ integration. In Red Steel 2, the player becomes a swordsman who finds himself in a remote mixed metropolis in the middle of the American desert, where Eastern and Western cultures collide. To reflect this adventurous new setting in Red Steel 2, Salta composed an action-packed ‘Wild West’ guitar-driven score blended with evocative Asian music influences. Developed by Ubisoft Paris, Red Steel 2 is scheduled for release on March 23rd, 2010.

“Tom Salta is an extremely versatile composer and delivers a unique and dynamic soundtrack for Red Steel 2,” said Isabelle Ballet, music supervisor for Red Steel 2. “He has crafted various music styles including mixing blues guitars with traditional Asian instruments to produce an energetic, hybrid score that motivates and immerses players in the action. We can’t wait to share this experience with everyone!”

Man, I can’t even begin to tell you guys how much I’ve been waiting to hear/see more of Okamiden. It’s one of my most anticipated titles right now, even though it hasn’t been confirmed for North America yet. The scan isn’t the best quality, but it’s better than nothing!

The following info comes from an interview with Eric Nofsinger, who was asked about the poster with a “2” on it we posted about earlier:

“We’re very excited about it, the first one was great, but this is something much better.”

If that’s not confirmation, I don’t know what is!
