Resistance 3 Gets Music from Boris Salchow

Insomniac Games has revealed that veteran composer Boris Salchow will score their upcoming shooter, Resistance 3. Resistance 3 is due out on September 6, 2011 for the PlayStation 3 platform and picks up four years after the events of Resistance 2.

Paul Mudra, Audio Director, Insomniac Games: “For RESISTANCE 3 we required a composer who would be able to interpret the nuance of mankind’s struggle for survival in a brutal world and create an engaging and emotive score. Boris spent many hours at our studio becoming familiar with the story, meeting with several key members of the development team and immersing himself in our process and culture. The soundtrack that Boris composed is compelling and a perfect fit for the game.  We consider it to be a key part of the overall RESISTANCE 3 experience.”

Salchow is a veteran composer, with credits including games like Resistance 2, Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas 2, and films such as Prom Night.
