Imagine Dragons has released its official Starfield song, called Children of the Sky (a Starfield song).
…
Starfield composer Inon Zur collaborated with Imagine Dragons on Children of the Sky. He said: “The band has created an amazing, emotional, and memorable song, and I joined them in crafting the Starfield motif into the song as well as iconic elements from the Main Theme and the Starfield orchestral treatment. The outcome is a massive celebration for Starfield and I hope that the group’s fans as well as gamers from all over the world will find it as exhilarating and magnificent as we all feel.”

This type of marketing is a first? I like it
Imagine Dragons also made a song for Infinity Blade
I bought that game and can’t play it anymore anywhere. One of the advantages of digital games, pretty crazy huh
In what way? There was that Ed Sheeran song in the last Pokémon game.
Ah ok wasn’t aware of this AAA trend of releasing a song just before the game was released
Tony Hawks Pro Skater wants you to remember it. The game that launched an entire music genre into the mainstream.
This is far, far from a first.
Final Fantasy has also done a couple. XV had a Stand By Me remake from Florence and the Machine, and Sia did Fly Me to the Moon for XIV’s most recent expansion.
Oh yeah I loved that genre. But did they get artists to perform an exclusive song?
I’m glad this is how I learned that Ed Sheeran x Pokemon is a real, unironic thing
There was also the Diablo 4 song and music video by Halsy. Seems to be a starting trend.
