Composer Austin Wintory Shares 22 Minutes of Music Created for BioWare's Canceled Mass Effect 5
Composer Austin Wintory was once in talks to make music for Mass Effect 5, and now that EA has shuttered BioWare and canceled the game, he's released his drafts online.
Composer Austin Wintory has released 22 minutes of music he created for Mass Effect 5 after the BioWare studio was shuttered and the game canceled. Wintory, known for his work on Sword of the Sea, Journey, and other titles, expressed that Mass Effect was his "all-time dream project." He had been in serious discussions with BioWare and EA to contribute to the now-canceled game, with plans to build upon the masterful soundtrack of the original series.
Wintory's draft included 20 minutes of music, recorded and produced with synths, vocals, and a large orchestra in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, the project did not come to fruition, leaving fans disappointed. Despite the loss, Wintory hopes his drafts honor the work of his former colleagues and serve as a "pure love letter" to the BioWare universe.
