That’s not all, either. In afollow-up tweet, Fox confirms that a “few more” of his tracks will appear in the game too. “This time, my music is not optional!!!” he writes.
Filled with determination
These contributions aren’t Fox’s first time working on thePokemonseries. The developer and composercontributed a songforPokemon SwordandShield‘s soundtrack, specifically the theme for the Battle Tower. It’s apretty great tracktoo.
That’s not a huge surprise, givenUndertaleandDeltarunefans will happily tell you that the soundtracks for those games are also stellar. The tunes are so good, people havebeen trying to get the Pope to hear them. Knowing Fox is on theScarletandVioletsoundtrack, and in a pretty substantial way, is exciting news.
Fox has also had his work appear inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, after playingSmashwith Sakurai no less.
As forPokemon ScarletandViolet, the reception to the trailer seemed pretty positive, especiallyfor newcomer Lechonk. Which is fair, because Lechonk is adorable and perfect.
The new monster-training game debuted a host of new features this morning, including version-specific Professors, the new legendary Pokemon, and a focus on full-on co-op. Between the new generation andPokemon Legends: Arceuslaunching earlier this year, it’s going to be aPokemon-filled year in gaming.
