Award-Winning Composer Cris Velasco and Milan Records Bring the Dark, Nordic Sound of Mistfall Hunter to Life
Skystone Games and developer Bellring Games today announced the Mistfall Hunter – Original Soundtrack, the official score to the dark-fantasy extraction ARPG that has drawn more than 1.5 million players since launch. Co-composed with acclaimed, multiple award-winning composer Cris Velasco - known for his work on God of War, Bloodborne, Mass Effect, and Overwatch - and released in collaboration with Milan Records, a Sony Music label, the soundtrack is available now on all major streaming platforms.
The sound of Mistfall Hunter
Rooted in the game’s worldbuilding, the soundtrack fuses the mysterious, dark tone of soulslike titles with the raw, austere spirit of Norse mythology. Its instrumentation weaves together the Nordic tagelharpa, solo female vocals, full orchestra, and choir to deepen the game’s ancient, icy, and epic atmosphere. Across variations on a single central motif, the score mirrors the contrasting personalities and destinies of the Mysterious Guide, Dew, and the Gyldhunters.
“The main theme is shaped by the game’s world and atmosphere - combining the mystery and darkness of soulslike games with the wildness and stark austerity of Norse mythology, evoking both the weight of history and the piercing chill of nature. It is built around a strong, memorable core motif, simple enough to linger in the mind yet open enough to be revisited through variation and reprise - the same motif used to reflect Dew, the Mysterious Guide, and the Gyldhunters. A solo voice opens the piece, the tagelharpa establishes an ancient, restrained foundation, and the orchestra drives it forward; at its height, the choir deepens the intensity before the music resolves back into the central theme,” said Bellring Games.
