    Not only have we been treated to a new music preview of Sonic Frontiers, focusing on the Ares Island soundtrack, but SEGA has also released a new 'Making the Music' video which puts to spotlight on the game's music director, Tomoya Ohtani

    Among the many interesting tidbits, Ohtani had apparently written the compositions for Frontiers about four years back, (a striking difference from his work on Sonic Runners, which had only a month-long turnaround). Typically, he is not able to compose using developed game video and environments for direct reference, but uses planning documentation and an understanding of the game's outline, themes, tone, and story.

    For example, Kronos Island's piano-focused theme is built on the somber, desolate tone that defines that opening area. For those more vocally-minded, Ohtani's favorite track is the lead theme "I'm Here", and he promises several guest singers in the full game soundtrack.

    The Sonic Frontiers OST "Stillness & Motion" is set to release physically in Japan and on digital platforms internationally on December 8.

    I'm kind of shocked that "Ohtani saying his favorite game to compose was the one SEGA murdered" made it into the video

    That vocal track at the end is definitely new and considering what answer it follows, well...
     

    Spoiler

    We may be getting 2 One OK Rock tracks, 1 of them being original for this game specifically

    I could definitely recognise Taka's voice, and it sounded like one of their new songs... but I couldn't find anything. It has to be brand new, and made specially for this game.

    It was already wild enough to know that a One OK Rock song is in a Sonic game, but an original song too?! This can't be real, I'm dreaming!
