Intergalactic Opera Triumphs at Golden Globes

Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, composers for Naughty Dog's upcoming game Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, have won a Golden Globe Award. Their Best Original Score win was for Luca Guadagnino's film Challengers.

The recent Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet trailer showcased a blend of Reznor and Ross's original compositions and licensed music. The pair are renowned for their extensive collaboration, spanning Nine Inch Nails and acclaimed film scores for directors such as David Fincher and Pete Docter. Their accolades include an Academy Award for The Social Network and Soul, multiple Grammys, an Emmy, and a BAFTA. Reznor also previously created the soundtrack for Quake (1996) and the main title theme for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2.

Accepting the Golden Globe for the romantic sports drama Challengers, Ross described their score as "never…a safe choice, but…always the right one." The modern, club-influenced electronic score complements the film's themes. Given their impressive track record, Intergalactic's soundtrack is highly anticipated and could become a legendary video game score.

Golden Globe Win Fuels Anticipation for Intergalactic

While their Nine Inch Nails roots might suggest otherwise, Reznor and Ross have consistently demonstrated versatility, creating diverse soundscapes—from the haunting atmosphere of The Social Network to the serene melodies of Soul. With online speculation suggesting horror elements in Intergalactic, their musical choices seem perfectly suited.

This Golden Globe win further amplifies the excitement surrounding Intergalactic, a potentially significant departure for Naughty Dog. Given their impeccable history, the game's soundtrack promises to be exceptional, regardless of the final game content.
