DEATH STRANDING: Timefall FAQ

Click to shrink...

According to Japanese pop culture news site Entertainment Week, Khalid, CHVRCHES and Major Lazer have joined on to produce music for DEATH STRANDING: Timefall. CHVRCHES doing music isn't too surprising considering they visited Kojima Productions a few months ago but I didn't expect Khalid to be involved, too. Major Lazer got me hyped ngl. There's going to be more artists announced down the road I imagine.

In addition to the new song "Trigger" collaborated with Major Lazer by world-famous pop star Khalid, the album for electro pop band CHVRCHES has been decided!

Lauren Mayberry the GOAT.

 

[mjc]

[Serene]

lmao how much money is Sony blowing on this game

 

[Psychotron]

Love ChVrches.

[Mike Rambo]

New music from artists I love inspired by a game I strongly anticipate? Yeah, I'm down

How the fuck Khalid going to sing a song about a baby in a fucking chest bowl

 

[Rezsolution]

Sony have fuck you money and wanna show it ig hahaha

 

[Deleted member 2229]

This is not really what id like to see but whatever, ill give it a chance

 

[daybreak]

I...don't know any of these artists. Guess I'm getting old?

 

[Deleted member 420]

Fucking garbage

 

[tr1b0re]

I mean...I'll listen to the CHVRCHES song I guess

But would have preferred less...pop choices, feels like it doesn't match the tone of the game, but that's just my opinion

 

[Rosé Fighter]

This sounds rad! Sure why not!

 

[808s & Villainy]

MAJOR LAZER?!

 

[Patitoloco]

I'm ultra down for more CHVRCHES.

 

[MrSaltyPringles]

This is great!

 

[Blablurn]

more CHVRCHES is gud

 

[Aadiboy]

So none of this music is even in the game? Speaking of which, we still haven't heard the main vocal theme for the game, if it has one.

 

[Nakenorm]

Fantastic news

 

[motherless]

Love Chvches, doesn't seem like a fit for the game but I am open to it. At least walking around to good music is something, lesson learned from Journey I suppose.

 

[Truly Gargantuan]

Everybody chasing that Black Panther album money. First Beyonce now Kojimers. I can't wait for the inevitable FFVII:R album.

 

[WarpSpeedMolasses]

So this is like the concept albums for Black Panther and Game of Thrones? I like all those acts, so I'll give it al listen.

 

[lunarworks]

Khalid's not my thing, but CHVRCHES and Major Lazer are great.

Still unsure how this fits in with the game, though. Kojima's drunk on power.

 

[MrS]

This is Hipster Kojima at his worst. I don't like any of those musicians.

 

[Deleted member 42]

I need Khalid and CHVRCHES to combo on a track about a baby trapped in another world

 

[Qwark]

Still unsure about the game, but at least I'm looking forward to this music now.

 

[xMM4nsonx]

I remember CHVRCHES for the cover of Do I Wanna Know (pure gold). This album give to me the chance to discover new groups.

i know chvrches was big in 2013 but after that...

Click to shrink...

Nope, just inspired by it.

Speaking of which, we still haven't heard the main vocal theme for the game, if it has one.

Click to shrink...

Nah, not yet. There's that same motif they keep playing in trailers though. I'd imagine the main vocal theme would incorporate that into it. Someone really talented made an unofficial theme out of this.

 

[JehutyRunner]

Look. The man has impeccible music taste, so I can't wait to see how this turns out.

 

[janusff]

lmao sure why not

 

[Kazuhira]

Love Chvrches but i kinda expected Low Roar and Grimes in this combo tbh.

Found some of the lyrics, leaked on Reddit:

Uh huh
Uh huh uh huh
Yeah
Uh huh
Shout out to my little cousin Barry, love you little man
Big up to Kojima-san, this one's for you too
Uh huh
Little babies in fucking chest bowls
Yeah
Here we go

[Lukar]

I like Chvrches, so cool.

 

[Kaizer]

Huh, okay! I like all three of these artists, especially CHVRCHES so this could be interesting?

 

[Garcia el Gringo]

I'm the main demo for what Kojima and KojiPro are doing with the Hollywood celebrities and pop musicians; I was mesmerized by the initial Death Stranding reveal/mood piece released, but as more gameplay and mythology gets decrypted, my interest is more so retained by the ambitious, left field casting.

 

[Shadow2222]

Eh, Sony's done it before like with God of War 3's Blood and Metal soundtrack (also songs that were not in the game).

 

[Anya7890]

The equivalent of a extremely high profile movie production.

Sure, why not

 

[Deleted member 21709]

Go Kojima!

 

[Bessy67]

Unlimited money: The game. Wonder what the break even point will be for this one in terms of sales. 10 million copies?

hes just going insert DJ Khalid and it'll just be a remix of the other songs

 

[Jawbreaker]

Damn, that actually could turn out to be really neat.

 

[scar654]

Sad about this. I was expecting the original score to be music from the game, not inspired by.

Edit: I was saying that I was sad that the included soundtrack in the special edition is this one and not a proper original score.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

At least it's not J-Pop like in all the Square Enix games
