It&#8217;s been a while. This piece has been in the works for, oh, nearly a year now? You see, I do an article every year regarding my &#8220;favorite songs of E3,&#8221; that is to say: the licensed music that scores the new game trailers of E3, er, the Summer of Gaming. But with so many digital gaming showcases these days, I could never decide when to stop listening for awesome songs. So! I thought it would be fun to, instead, do a jam-packed article this year, full of songs and trailers from all throughout 2023. To top it all off, I even included some of the best original soundtracks heard in the background of trailers, meaning I didn&#8217;t really have anyone to credit for them, unfortunately. Guess you&#8217;ll have to play the games to find out more! But right now&#8230; how about we listen to some music, huh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4xRuUaJYNtI?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Credit: GameSpot<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">&#8220;Death <\/span><u>Don\u2019t<\/u><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"> Have No Mercy&#8221; by Reverend Gary Davis &#8211;<\/span><\/strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><br><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong><em>South of Midnight <\/em><\/strong><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>Official Trailer (Xbox Games Showcase 2023)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s something so gloomy about this piece. The raw guitar plucking, the wailing nature of Davis\u2019s vocals, and the drums when they kick in at the end. This song combines southern bayou aesthetic with a thrilling dose of action, just as the trailer for <em>South of Midnight<\/em> does. I knew as soon as I saw this game that it would be something special, and using songs like this to accompany such a gem makes for quite a memorable experience. I hope music like this is prevalent in the full game, as that would just intensify the down home country feel of this mysterious twilight world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7ZgWMfi-OVU?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Credit: FGS<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>&#8220;Beyond the Waves&#8221; by Tamara Jokic &#8211; <\/strong><br><strong><em>Highwater <\/em>Cinematic Trailer (Future Games Show Summer Showcase 2023)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I talked about <em>Highwater<\/em> in <a href=\"https:\/\/vgu.tv\/2022\/12\/20\/all-aboard-the-top-music-of-game-fest-2022\/\">this article last year<\/a>, though that song was a bit more dismal. This year, <em>Highwater<\/em> brought out a live performance &#8211; in Spanish, I believe &#8211; to really highlight the lonely emptiness of the game&#8217;s tone. Huh, I guess they were both pretty damn somber. Anyway, while I can&#8217;t exactly grasp what <em>Highwater<\/em>&#8216;s gameplay is like, I know enough about its soundtrack to have me intrigued. I was a huge fan of <em>Submerged<\/em> back in the day, and that post-apocalyptic flooded world concept. If this game can deliver a captivating story amongst this world and its music, I&#8217;m all in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EH698jXnDDQ?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Credit: IGN<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">&#8220;War Pigs&#8221; by T-Pain &#8211; <\/span><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Asgard\u2019s Wrath 2<\/span><\/em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"> Official Gameplay Reveal Trailer<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you haven&#8217;t heard T-Pain&#8217;s rendition of &#8220;War Pigs,&#8221; you must be living under a rock. This song has been used quite a few places since it was first released, and even <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OzzyOsbourne\/status\/1745215829070021111?lang=en\">Ozzy himself tweeted<\/a> about how great it is! T-Pain has worked for years to prove he&#8217;s more than just &#8220;the autotune guy,&#8221; and he&#8217;s got an incredible set of pipes. The raspy anger in his voice while delivering these classic ominous lyrics perfectly sets the tone for <em>Asgard&#8217;s Wrath 2<\/em>, and it got me hyped to take down some gods in virtual reality. I think that&#8217;s what the game is about. I never did play the first one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HNkT6A4akr4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Credit: PlayStation<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><strong>\u201cThe Whisper\u201d by Be\u00edcoli &#8211; <em>Laika: Aged Through Blood<\/em> Re-Reveal Trailer<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you&#8217;ll find with some of the games on this list, <em>Laika: Aged Through Blood<\/em> is already available to play. This is lucky for you reading this, because I had to wait some time to finally stream this song. It&#8217;s part of the game&#8217;s original soundtrack, but I was able to find out the song from its trailer ahead of time, adding to the game&#8217;s hype factor. I love the western feel and the haunting harmonies; the perfect song for <em>Laika<\/em>&#8216;s <em>Mad Max<\/em>-esque landscape. I hope I get to play <em>Laika<\/em> soon and experience even more of this incredible soundtrack, but hey, the demo was fantastic!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5_w_xj4zGk4?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Credit: Twin Sails Interactive<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">\u201cWe Can Be Heroes\u201d by Hortator &#8211; <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>Ember Knights<\/em><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"> Release Date Trailer (PC Gaming Show 2023)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">True, this song didn&#8217;t have much to offer in this trailer. It&#8217;s basically just repeating the title over and over amid some booming orchestral sounds. But there&#8217;s no denying it kicks ass, and it got me sucked right into the gameplay of this top-down roguelite. The pixel art style also caught my attention, as do the vibrant colors. Damn, I was pretty excited for this, huh? Thankfully, the game is available now, so perhaps I&#8217;ll finally check it out! I doubt the original soundtrack boasts such exciting tunes, but that&#8217;s what trailer music is for, right? Draws you right in and gets you excited!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kpVfIqxsE24?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Credit: Ubisoft<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">\u201cShow You How It\u2019s Done\u201d by DayOne\/Peter Verdell &#8211; <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>The Crew Motorfest<\/em><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">: Launch Gameplay Trailer (Opening Night Live)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ubisoft is no stranger to these lists. They tend to use some of the coolest licensed songs in the best way. Couple this track record with the high-octane visuals of a brand new racing game like <em>The Crew Motorfest<\/em>, and chances are you&#8217;re in for a pretty rad song. <em>Motorfest<\/em> has released quite a few trailers, it seems, and every one of them has some energetic tune in the background. Very EDM-heavy, full of bassy beats and rap vocals. I don&#8217;t believe that every trailer uses this specific song, but I recall being compelled by the sights onscreen here, thanks to &#8220;Show You How It&#8217;s Done.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RBkBs4R0mJk?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Credit: Marvel Entertainment<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">\u201cSwing (ft.

Zipping around the city and kicking the crap out of criminals truly never gets old. What makes it even more enticing is the myriad of suits you can unlock in-game. But when you&#8217;ve checked out all those suits, you might want to look into the DLC, which offers up some unique and crazy styles that add loads of flair to the Spider-Men&#8217;s aesthetic! So how would you advertise these suits, one might ask? Well, couple a butt-kicking montage with an upbeat, energetic hip hop track and you&#8217;ve got yourself an incredibly attractive showcase of these new threads!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IT6zCINM-Vk?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Credit: GameTrailers<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">\u201cBurn It Down\u201d by Gee Smiff &#8211; <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>The Red Selene<\/em><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"> Official Trailer (Realms Deep 2023)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Red Selene<\/em> was a surprise from start to finish. Not only is it a side-scrolling survival horror metroidvania &#8211; which threw me off guard completely &#8211; its trailer was set to a pseudo-heavy metal rap song. I don&#8217;t even know how to describe the tune, let alone the game in question. Honestly, the game looks pretty cool, blending the isolation and darkness of horror classics with the exploration and variety of modern metroidvanias. If I had some balls to handle spooky stuff, I might even give <em>The Red Selene<\/em> a chance! But for now, I&#8217;ll stick with the badass song used in its trailer. Gives me something to work out to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3rWCaPuyfmQ?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Credit: GameTrailers<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">\u201cAll Bad Things\u201d by Patrick Cunningham &#8211; <\/span><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Undead West<\/span><\/em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"> Official Reveal Trailer (Realms Deep 2023)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oh, how I loved this one. You see, <em>Undead West<\/em> looks like a standard top-down roguelite dungeon crawler. Nothing too special, save for its black and white color scheme and western setting. But what captivated me here was the song in its trailer! Realms Deep didn&#8217;t have a ton to offer me in terms of excitement, but as I scrolled through it I heard this song and stopped in my tracks. Yes, maybe it should have been backing something more exciting and tense, but the cowboy feel of the music and this vocalist got me fired up to give <em>Undead West<\/em> a shot!

She was the little lady from Tango Gameworks that stole the hearts of gamers everywhere, thanks to The Game Awards. Well, she returned this year with her own original IP, <em>KEMURI<\/em>, and while very little is known about it still, the music it brought with the trailer was absolute fire. Set against an Asian market backdrop and presumably our protagonist freerunning through the streets, this frantic beat plays as <em>KEMURA<\/em>&#8216;s vibrant colors lit up the screen. I really hope the game focuses on parkour in its finished form, as this whole vibe really stuck with me, and damn it, I want more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fgwZ-xB4cBk?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Credit: The First Descendant<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">\u201cThe Pioneers\u201d by Bloc Party\/M83 &#8211; <\/span><em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">The First Descendant<\/span><\/em><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"> Official Reveal Trailer (The Game Awards 2023)<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;ve had my eye on <em>The First Descendant<\/em> for quite some time. It&#8217;s one of those games that randomly drops trailers to remind you it&#8217;s coming, but none of them really get the point across. I always get a <em>Metal Gear Solid<\/em> vibe from it, focusing on its wide cast of characters and the dystopian world they live in. Anyway, this trailer from The Game Awards introduced some giant mechanical titan beings and some cinematic flight sequences, all the while an ominous, haunting tune by Bloc Party played in the background. I&#8217;ve been riding the hype train for <em>The First Descendant<\/em> since it was announced, but this song just fueled my fire!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jKQem4Z6ioQ?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><em>Credit: HelloGamesTube<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">\u201cHunger of the Pine\u201d by alt-J &#8211; <\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>Light No Fire<\/em><\/span><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"> Announcement Trailer<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s no secret that <em>Light No Fire<\/em> is my most anticipated game on the horizon. As a <em>huge<\/em> fan of Hello Games, I was absolutely blown away by this brand new venture they revealed at The Game Awards. Breathtaking in scope, this fantasy RPG seems destined for greatness, and what better way to usher in something so grand than with the wondrous voice of alt-J? This song helped set the tone for all the mystery and intrigue of <em>Light No Fire<\/em>&#8216;s world.

The dude is really talented, and having him behind the wheel of a pixel-art rhythm game sounds like a brilliant concept. If the music in this trailer is anything to go by, Scallon has some beautiful tricks up his sleeve in the music department.
