Project Arroyo Soundtrack Update: Fallout 2 Remake Stays Alive
Good news for wasteland travelers. Project Arroyo is far from being dead. A release date remains a distant hope. However, the committed team behind the remake continues to show their dedication. This time they offer an amazing update in honor of the game's atmosphere: a brand-new soundtrack demonstration.
Breathing New Life into Classic Tunes (and Adding More)
The Project Arroyo team is not just porting the original soundtrack. They have released a video of their interpretation of the classic Fallout 2 score. This involves reworking original compositions with care. They are improving their quality and introducing new details through new arrangements. Furthermore, they are composing entirely new works specifically for this ambitious remake.
The showreel video provides peeks and listens at what is to come. It includes bits of frantic battle themes and atmospheric ambient pieces. These ambient pieces are ideal for trekking through barren ruins. Haunting music for the game's iconic settlements is also featured.
More Than Just a Remake
One must keep in mind that Project Arroyo is more than just an engine swap. It was created in 2018 by over one hundred volunteers. These modders are meticulously working to revive content that was cut from the original Fallout 2 release. Their aim is to bring the most exhaustive version of the classic RPG to the contemporary Fallout 4 engine.
The Long Road Ahead
The team has mentioned ideas of taking the mod public sometime. Perhaps this could be through a Steam release. However, even those plans are not yet fleshed out. Meanwhile, the question of when people can play it remains unaddressed. But soundtrack reveals like this are welcome reminders. Project Arroyo continues to progress steadily.
