Mutant, in partnership with WaterTower Music, is proud to present the physical release of the soundtrack to Dune: Part Two, featuring a score by Academy Award®-winning composer Hans Zimmer.
Hans Zimmer’s score to Dune: Part Two is a majestic and sweeping masterpiece, befitting one of the year’s best films. Hans Zimmer is a master of contemplative and epic themes, delivering both equally here. The love themes are beautiful and tender, while the battle cries are bolder and more significant than ever, transporting you to faraway lands you want to get lost in forever.
“Working with illustrator Greg Ruth (Dune: Part One, The Dune Sketchbook) to create artwork for the premiere physical release has been an incredible and fruitful experience. Our intent was always to mix the epic and the intimate with this release and push ourselves to deliver the definitive Dune: Part Two experience that both casual fans and obsessives alike could cherish. It is an honor to contribute in some small way to the incredible world that Denis and Hans have created,” says Mutant Co-Founders Spencer Hickman and Mo Shafeek.

The Eye of Odin shines upon you this day! The next Closed Beta for ASKA, a third-person Viking sandbox survival builder from Romanian indie developer Sand Sailor Studio, kicks off April 15 and will run until April 21. Players ready to embark on an exciting Viking expedition can sign up for a chance to join the closed beta by wishlisting ASKA on Steam, and heading over to the ASKA Discord for more information (closed beta sign-up closes on April 5).
In ASKA, players find themselves shipwrecked on a mysterious island where they must tame an uncharted land and build a Viking empire worthy of Odin’s praise. Solo or together with up to three friends, players must survive, summon intelligent NPC villagers, collect resources and build a thriving settlement. Players will need to automate, manage and defend their expanding tribe and prepare to survive the bitter winters.
“ASKA stands as a testament to what a dream-team of just 10 people can achieve over the course of 4 years: an ambitious co-op survival tribe builder where you’re never alone, where you work alongside lively AI villagers that are almost indistinguishable from players, all woven into a deep city builder-like economy system,” said Cristian Diaconescu, Creative Director at Sand Sailor Studio. “We’re entering the final phase of our beta testing period and we can’t wait to give players the power to build their very own truly functional Viking village, who knows what they’ll build.”
Developed as the third game installment by Sand Sailor Studios and published by Thunderful, ASKA’s unique gameplay lies in its AI systems. ASKA provides a unique flavor vs other survival games on the market, by giving players the opportunity to release themselves from the shackles of repetitive resource collection and management. The player is the master constructor, focusing on leading the tribe and designating the location of buildings. The intelligent AI NPCs are then assigned to work around the town, providing camaraderie and establishing a thriving village.
