The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Features Soundtrack By Jeremy Soule

Bethesda Game Studios announced today that Jeremy Soule, the award-winning composer who has been called “gaming’s greatest musician,” will create the soundtrack for the highly anticipated role-playing game (RPG), The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The score for The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (2002 Game of the Year, 2002 RPG of the Year), also created by Soule, received numerous accolades from industry professionals including “Game Soundtrack of the Year,” “Best Music and Sound Effects,” and “Outstanding Achievement in Original Composition.” A sample piece of music from Oblivion is available for download here.

"I’ve been working with Jeremy for a long time," said Todd Howard, executive producer for Oblivion, “and this is by far his best work. The game is an epic-fantasy-drama, and the score adds greatly to its dramatic appeal. What he has brought to Oblivion is extraordinary. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it.” Soule has also composed the soundtrack for the popular MMORPG Guild Wars.
