Mutant, in partnership with Hollywood Records and 20th Century Studios, is proud to present the premiere physical release of Benjamin Wallfisch’s score to ALIEN: ROMULUS.
It is hard to overstate just how successful, on every level, ALIEN: ROMULUS and its score are at returning longtime fans to the world Ridley Scott, Dan O’Bannon, Jerry Goldsmith (and so many other brilliant artists) created back in 1979. But spend just a few minutes with Benjamin Wallfisch’s masterful score, and you can feel the attention to detail in the craft of every choice.
“Doing the impossible task of bridging the gap between sequels and prequels, Wallfisch takes the dissonant, atonal and truly horrifying soundscapes that Goldsmith defined the genre with, and makes peace with the melodies and monsters of subsequent films – all while making his own voice heard throughout,” Says Mo Shafeek, Mutant Co-Founder. “A truly remarkable piece of film music.”
Available for pre-order at Mutant’s webstore, madebymutant.com, on August 16, this limited edition physical release features liner notes by director Fede Alvarez, and original artwork by illustrator Kilian Eng, continuing his on-going ALIEN soundtrack series and is pressed on 2x 140gm vinyl.

Today, Offworld releases the newest update for their hit WWII-themed FPS Squad 44: Frontline Expanded. The Frontline game mode, which debuted earlier this summer and saw attackers undertaking missions to progress their titular frontline across the warzone, has now been added to all of the game’s chapters—a total of 20 maps—to deepen the strategy necessary to achieve victory. Additionally, server capacity has now been increased from an 80-player maximum to a 100-player maximum. The Frontline Expanded update also adds new objectives to Frontline mode—such as document search, where players can canvas several battlefield quadrants to secure key files—and new targets for search-and-destroy missions, like weapon caches and vehicles.
This latest update also increases the depth and scope of armored combat. The new tanks introduced in June’s Reign of Steel update have now been added to the Armoured game mode. Commander observation cupolas have been overhauled to bring the periscopes closer together, making them more usable for buttoned-up tank commanders by increasing their situational awareness. Also, the combat mechanics’ Armour-Piercing shells have been tweaked and refined to better emphasize accuracy and spalling, and two new vehicle variants have been introduced: the Cromwell CS and the AEC Armoured Car Mk3.
Offworld’s partner, Mercury Arts, continues its work with the Frontline Expanded Update, pushing for high-grade visual fidelity and authentic immersion. The update also continues the ongoing graphics overhaul, a key journey for Squad 44. The teams at Offworld and Mercury Arts have worked hard to rework St. Mere Eglise and Carentan to align more with their historical real-world locations. Various building models have been further refined, and furniture has been installed in various open buildings to give both maps more of a lived-in feel.
Squad 44 is a World War II tactical first-person shooter focused on historical accuracy, large-scale battles, a steep learning curve, and an intense need for communication, cohesion, and teamwork to achieve victory. To deliver immersive, authentic battlefields, each map in the game has been accurately recreated to reflect real locations using archival references that range from street-level photographs to aerial images. Featuring five main factions, composed of several different German, American, British, Greek, and French Units, Squad 44 offers players the ability to join the fight with numerous historically accurate weapons, from pistols to AT guns, all featuring real-world ballistics as well as the chance to operate over 50 different period-accurate vehicles from Jeeps to King Tigers.

Conan Exiles™, the Open World Survival Sandbox game by Funcom, welcomes the Age of Heroes, its third season of free major content updates. Coming in October, the first Chapter of this new season will bring two major new features. The first introduces a brand-new kind of player Companion characters to recruit and adventure with, and the second breathes an unprecedented level of life into player bases by giving thralls – the player’s servants and fighters – realistic behavior and interactions.
The first Chapter in the Age of Heroes will include the first ever Companion characters – Freya, the Aesir warrior, and Liu Fei, the Khitan sorcerer. Each of these fully voiced characters has their own story for the player to aid them through. On these epic journeys, each Companion’s abilities will be shaped by what happens, as well as the player’s choices. More companions are planned for later Chapters.
The second major feature in Chapter 1 is Living Settlements – transforming thralls into living breathing inhabitants of the player’s base, going about their lives, emoting, and even manning crafting stations. Not only will they behave like real people, with needs such as food and sleep, but they will also defend their home when threatened. As with every update, the new features are accompanied by bug fixes and quality of life improvements.
The Age of Heroes heralds further changes to Conan Exiles. Between each Chapter update, an additional minor update will arrive, focused on events, quality of life, and bug fixes. Furthermore, the Battle Pass has been retired, with those working on it being distributed across all other areas of the game. The Bazaar item shop remains.
Age of Heroes arrives in October on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox X|S, Xbox One, and Xbox Game Pass.
