TheUndertalecreator shares some of his latest musical creations
The latestPokémongame is out in the wild, and players have been exploring the new region of Paldea. As it so happens, some of the tunes playing while they roam around thisPokémonworld were penned by Toby Fox, the creator ofUndertale.
Foxannouncedhe’d be working onScarletandViolet‘s soundtrack before the game’s release. Now, Fox has shared his exact contributions inthat he spun up for fans ofUndertaleandDeltarune. (Destructoid has received a copy of this because yes, Iwouldlike to receive news aboutUndertaleandDeltarune.)
In it, the developer writes that he had the honor of making a few songs for the game. These include the tracks “Tera Raid Battles“, the “Academy Ace Tournament“, and “Battle! Zero Lab“. (Beware of spoilers if you go digging into that last one, by the way.)
Fox also composed “Area Zero“, which was re-arranged byPokémoncomposer Go Ichinose. Fox also apparently wrote a “majestic theme melody” for the song “Academy“, which ended up used as a field theme for the game. All songs using the melody were made by other composers.
Turn up the PokéTunes
I had a sneaking suspicion that certain tunes inPokémon ScarletandViolet, particularly the ones that playduring the endgame section, had to include contributions from Toby Fox. So it’s nice to have those guesses validated.
This isn’t the first time Fox has contributed to aPokémongame, asSwordandShieldalso hadtunes from Fox in the soundtrack. But it’s nice to see this collaboration continue, and especially see how it’s helped shape the sonic direction ofPokémon.
