The Civ VII theme is live! Working with Christopher Tin has been a career highlight. It started (unsurprisingly?) with the Iliad quote. Once we looked at the original Greek, the idea of a multilingual piece using some great epics that still move us today seemed so fitting for the game’s vision.

Congrats!!!
Lips sealed, etc.
But, y’know, a GDC talk in the audio track, or a GameSoundCon talk about bringing a new Civ main theme to life would fill up like gangbusters, just saying. ;)
12 or so years later, nothing has made me reconsider that - admittedly - bold statement. Genius.
The other themes often feel like a celebration of the accomplishment and progress of human society.
But this piece seems to present both the great and the terrible of human society at once.
B) certainly aged interestingly!! Talk about some intense fucking lyrics, gd.
