Michiel van den Bos and Alexander Brandon, the two composers who created the soundtrack to the original Unreal Tournament, have indicated their wish to be a part of the crowdsourced reboot of the franchise.
Posting on the official forums, van den Bos asked if there was any interest from the development team in having them back, and project lead Steven Polge was quick to answer in the affirmative.
“I’m writing here because I was getting messages and e-mails telling me I should, due to the announcement of the new UT,” posted van den Bos. ”I was wondering if there is any interest in me getting involved and I’m sure I can get Alex to join in too.”
Then Alexander Brandon popped up to confirm, ”Not a hoax. Michiel speaks true. And we greatly appreciate your support!”
After a very positive response, it seems like fans have fond memories of the Unreal Tournament soundtrack, Project Lead on the planned reboot Steven Polge indicated his desire to have the duo back. ”Of course we would be thrilled to have you and Alex involved in this project! The music you guys made always invokes tremendous nostalgia for me - I’m always instantly transported back to playing UT. How are you interested in participating?”
