Celebrated composing duo Cris Velasco (God of War Series) and Sascha Dikiciyan (TRON: Evolution) are the talent behind the original score for Relic Entertainment’s upcoming 3rd person action/shooter, Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine.
The soundtrack is described by publisher THQ as an “expansive emotional score featuring anthemic orchestral compositions and contemporary Hollywood music production, reflecting the epic scale of this rich, sci-fi fantasy.”
Glenn Jamison, Audio Lead at Relic Entertainment commented, “Cris Velasco and Sascha Dikiciyan have composed a world-class, emotionally intense original music score for Space Marine that exceeded all of our expectations. We were blown away by the inspired music they wrote for our game and can’t wait to share their epic score with everyone when Space Marine releases this September.”
Composers Cris Velasco and Sascha Dikiciyan commented, “Space Marine has been one of the most creatively satisfying projects of our scoring career. This being the first third-person shooter in the Warhammer franchise, we were honoured to write an original score that lives up to the games’ prestigious history and also pushes the series forward with a bold and fresh sound.”

About Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine
Players take on the role of Captain Titus of the Ultramarines, humanity’s last hope for survival in a war-ridden future. Players step into the armour of this superhuman warrior and use a lethal combination of deadly weapons to crush overwhelming alien forces. The fight is against the savage Orks and the unholy forces of Chaos in a brutally violent world based on one of the most popular science fiction fantasies.
When wave after wave of savage Orks descend upon the Forge World Graia, it is up to the Space Marines to win the planet back. Space Marines are genetically modified, encased in hallowed armour and the equivalent of one hundred lesser men. They live only to defend the Imperium, and to slay its enemies in a war that never ends. Captain Titus, along with his comrades Leandros and Sidonus, leads a detachment of Space Marines onto the Forge World. There, they quickly discover that the fight against the Orks is not all that requires their attention. An Imperial Inquisitor named Drogna needs help securing an experimental power source before the Orks capture it for themselves.
