The pulse-pounding soundtrack for Battlefield 2042 season Zero Hour recently attracted players back to the game, and now fans can soon own the game's exciting soundtrack on vinyl.
While the game initially launched to widespread criticism, DICE has taken steps to fix and improve Battlefield 2042 since launch. The title was considered buggy and unpolished upon release, but hundreds of technical issues have been resolved across several patches to smooth out the FPS experience. Seasonal updates have also added new content to Battlefield 2042, addressing criticism that the game launched without several expected features. The Season 1: Zero Hour and Season 2: Master of Arms updates have recently added new maps, new playable Specialists and multiple new weapons to the near-future military simulator following a lengthy delay of Battlefield 2042 Season 1.
To celebrate the game's intense music, Screen Rant can exclusively premiere the vinyl artwork for the Battlefield 2042: Official Soundtrack. The soundtrack was composed by two-time Grammy Award, Academy Award, Golden Globe, Emmy, and BAFTA Award-winning composer Hildur Guðnadóttir and two-time Grammy Award-winning music producer and composer Sam Slater, who previously collaborated on the twisted DC Comics thriller Joker and the historical drama miniseries Chernobyl. Battlefield 2042 marks Guðnadóttir's first video game score, and each track perfectly punctuates the action during the game's massive multiplayer firefights. The Battlefield 2042: Official Soundtrack double LP, which comes complete with gatefold sleeve and full color inner sleeves, will be available on November 4. Preorders are currently available in the Americas through Lakeshore Records, with Invada catering to the rest of the world.
Battlefield 2042: Official Soundtrack Includes Intense FPS Tunes
While the release of Battlefield 2042: Official Soundtrack will commemorate the franchise's latest entry, reports indicate that the next Battlefield game will return to the series' roots by refocusing on story-driven campaigns. Battlefield 2042 surprisingly lacked a single-player story mode, with the title's near-future setting instead being fleshed out purely through multiplayer gameplay. However, the brand-new Seattle-based developer Ridgeline Games is apparently working on a new Battlefield game that will focus on story, narrative and character development by telling a unique story through a single-player campaign.
While the game lacks a single-player story campaign, Guðnadóttir and Slater's intense original score helps establish the tone and mood of Battlefield 2042 and its war-torn world. The music plays a big role in the overall experience, and fans can soon obtain the Battlefield 2042: Official Soundtrack to enjoy the masterful score at home. The vinyl release comes complete with gorgeous cover art and inner sleeves, making this package perfect for any fan of Battlefield 2042 or Guðnadóttir and Slater's work on Joker.
