Argonauts Score Sets Sail

Codemasters announced today a new addition to the Rise of the Argonauts staff. The game’s score will be composed by Tyler Bates, known for his recent work on 300 and the Showtime television series Californication.

“The mythical nature of Rise of the Argonauts encouraged me to go beyond TV and movies and compose the score for my first video game,” said Tyler Bates. “Rise of the Argonauts is an epic game with some of the biggest Greek heroes like Jason, Hercules and Achilles, which inspired me to compose dramatic, sweeping music to create the proper setting for this exciting adventure.”

“In Rise of the Argonauts, every design choice emphasises immersion. We want players to actually feel like they’re heroes in ancient Greece -– not just playing a game. Tyler’s experience with composing for film and TV gave him a fresh perspective, and his music for the game set the epic tone we were hoping for,” said Ed Del Castillo, President of Liquid Entertainment.

Rise of the Argonauts is due out this fall for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Gamers who want a sneak peek can go to the game’s official site for a look at the gameplay video that also features a sample of the score.
