David Wise will charm players in Snake Pass

Famed composer David Wise, known for this almost legendary scores on the Donkey Kong Country series, Diddy Kong Racing, Battletoads and more, not to mention the upcoming Yooka-Laylee, has been announced as the man behind the music for Snake Pass. Sumo Digital, known for their work on various titles, have only just recently announced Snake Pass is coming to Nintendo Switch and since that announcement the news is coming nice and fast.

“Snake Pass is inspired by the classic Rare collectathon platformers of the N64 era, so getting David on board for the soundtrack was imperative to complete our vision”, said Seb Liese, Creator of Snake Pass. “His sunny, tropical compositions blend perfectly with the slithery gameplay. He’s truly a composer of rare talent indeed…”

“Once I played the game and saw the captivating world Sumo created, it set my mind on fire. I immediately began composing melodies, then worked with the team to develop these and nail down the feel of the soundtrack,” said David Wise. “We’ve ended up with something that not only pays tribute to the game’s classic inspirations, but also brings something new to the table, just as the game’s mechanics do!”

Right below is your chance to have a listen to just two of the samples from the soundtrack.

Snake Pass does not have a release date, though it is marked to appear in early 2017.
