Ubisoft announced that it partnered with film composer and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Cliff Martinez to compose the original game soundtrack for its upcoming open-world, first-person shooter Far Cry 4, the much-anticipated sequel to the #1 rated shooter of 2012.

Working with Ubisoft Montreal's Far Cry 4's Music Designer Jerome Angelot, Music Supervisor Simon Landry and Audio Director Tony Gronick, Cliff created original music specifically for Far Cry 4's gameplay and helped bring to life the gorgeous, yet ruthless environment and the unforgettable characters found in the game.

"Bringing Cliff on board was a no-brainer. Collaborating with him was a dream. He has the remarkable ability to portray compelling emotions and elevate the mundane into extraordinary with his musical talent," said Tony Gronick, Audio Director for Far Cry 4, Ubisoft. "Cliff delivered everything I hoped for. I'm so proud of the music in Far Cry 4 and am thankful for the opportunity to work with him."

"It was an honor to be asked to write the music for the Far Cry 4 game as my first full-length video game soundtrack," said Cliff Martinez. "It was exciting for me to be asked to take my usual minimalistic cinematic approach to the immersive game world. Any game where you can ride on a rampaging elephant is a project you can't turn down!"

The Far Cry 4 - Original Game Soundtrack digital edition released worldwide on November 4, the limited 2-CD edition will release on December 2 in North America and on December 9 in Europe, and the limited 3-LP edition will release in January 2015.
