‘StarCraft’ reveal trailer soundtracked by ‘Doom’ and ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ composers

The intense reveal trailer for the StarCraft reboot was soundtracked by Doom 2016 ’s composer Mick Gordon and Doom: The Dark Age ’s music team Finishing Move.

Over the weekend, Blizzard Entertainment confirmed they were rebooting the beloved StarCraft franchise . The original game in the series was released in 1998 before a sequel followed in 2010. While both those titles were real-time strategy games, the new StarCraft will be an open-world, story-driven sci-fi shooter.

The game is still in the early stages of development and is expected to launch at some point in 2023. However, Blizzard have shared a three-minute teaser trailer, soundtracked by some gnarly industrial music.

The video has already racked up more than 3.4million views on YouTube and was shared on social media by Doom 2016 composer Mick Gordon, with fans speculating that he’s behind the dread-inducing metal that can be heard throughout.

However Blizzard’s principle music producer Charlotte Pyle has now confirmed that the Finishing Move team did the music for the StarCraft reveal trailer with some “early thematic work” from Gordon.

“This was a special project to score the music for,” said Finishing Move’s Alex Klingle. “Spent countless hours playing StarCraft 2 with my friends as a teenager.” Finishing Move soundtracked Doom: The Dark Ages and have also worked on the soundtracks for Borderlands 4 , The Callisto Protocol and Grounded 2 .
