This piece probably won’t hold widespread stand-alone appeal - after all, it was deliberately written to serve as an abstract, eerie introduction to ZombiU. The shifting accompaniment reflects the intensification of the title sequence, yet the emphasis is appropriately kept on the piano throughout. As the track progresses, horror elements such as dissonant strings contrast with the piano line, before the climax introduces heavy contemporary elements into the mix. From the backdrop of an ambient soundscape, a piano solo introduces the game’s main melody - a delicate, fragmented, almost aleatoric melody. The titular main theme introduces the soundtrack in absolutely haunting manner. The official soundtrack to the game contains a total of 18 tracks, which are all heard at different points during game. Velasco wrote a fusion score for the game, blending all sorts of styles and moods, often within single pieces. As always, Ubisoft has a great taste when it comes to composer, and they hired Cris Velasco (Borderlands, God of War) to compose for ZombiU. Set in a post-apocalyptic London where zombies have taken over, the players have to use the tools at their disposal to not only survive the dark times, but also find a cure to stop the monstrosity of a situation from getting out of control. Ubisoft’s ZombiU is one of the Wii U’s most impressive launch titles with its survivor horror gameplay.
