Composer revealed for Far Cry 5

Ubisoft has just revealed that Dan Romer will be lending his talent to craft the music for Far Cry 5, for which he has utilised many Americana instruments, ranging from Banjos to Dobros and more. His score will fluctuate as players explore the dynamic world and fight tooth and nail with the deranged cultists. Not to mention, each region will have specific character-centric themes that ties into the motives of the Father and the Heralds.

Furthermore, it will also  include original hymns written by Romer, produced by Bobby Chin and performed by the Bobby Chin Nashville Choir. According to Ubisoft, “the lyrics of these reflect the inspirations of the leadership and members of the cult while also hiding more sinister messages toward the Resistance. Each of these hymns will mix into the existing music that players experience as they explore the world or engage in combat.”

Dan is a fantastic choice for Far Cry 5 as the composer, especially when you look at his scores for movies such as Beasts of no Nation and especially Finders Keepers, in which he has used a country template to the sounds and instruments, giving a good idea of what to expect for his score from Ubisoft’s upcoming open world first person shooter Far Cry 5. I for one cannot wait to hear samples from it.

Far Cry 5 will be available for the PC, PS4 and Xbox One on the 27th of February, and will be taking the fight to America this time as you go against a ruthless cult leader responsible for turning the once utopia Hope County into a violent, lawless hell.
