Halo 4 kommt erst am 6. November, aber in den Soundtrack kann man jetzt schon reinhören: auf der Halo-Waypoint-Website stehen diverse Tracks zum Probehören bereit. Für die Musik zeichnet Neil Davidge (siehe Bild) verantwortlich; der Mann aus Bristol poduzierte unter anderem schon Massive Attack. Nun kann man die Masterchief-Musik auch vorbestellen, ebenfalls auf der offiziellen Website:

Der Soundtrack ist wahlweise in physischer und digitaler Form erhältlich. Die Standard-CD kostet 9,99 Pfund (12,66 Euro) plus Versand und beinhaltet 15 Songs, dazu gibt’s noch 6 Stücke in digitaler Form. Die Special Edition ist natürlich üppiger: Für 49,99 Pfund, umgerechnet etwa 63 Euro plus Versand, erhält man eine 2CD-Box, bestehend aus der Soundtrack-CD und Remixen. Dazu gibt’s eine Dokumentation zum Soundtrack auf DVD, ein Hardcover-Buch mit Notizen und Fotos, ein von Davidge signierter 12 Zoll Kunstdruck und als Krönung eine “180 Gramm 12 Zoll Master Chief Picture Disk” – in Vinyl. Die Special Edition ist auf 5000 Exemplare limitiert.

Der Soundtrack erscheint offiziell am 22. Oktober.
