A Gamer's Guide to the History of the World

Louise Blain with gaming music inspired by the world history and
civilisation marking the launch of 'Humankind' with a new score
by Arnaud Roy.


Louise looks at how world history has been potent source of
inspiration for game designers and looks at the pains to which
some games and their composers have gone to in order to bring the
past alive. Featured soundtracks include 'Far Cry: Primal',
'Rome: Total War', 'Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey', 'Europa
Universalis IV', 'Kingdom Come Deliverance', 'God Of War III',
'Assassins Creed: Origins', 'Assassins Creed: Unity' and
'Civilisation VI'.


French composer, Arnaud Roy, talks about his music for the new
game 'Humankind', which is out later this month; and also in the
programme, a chance to hear a sneak preview of music by Austin
Wintory for his new game 'Aliens Fireteam Elite'.
