Unreal tournament still remains one of the most iconic and impactful first-person shooter (FPS) games more than 25 years after its release. Now its original composers Alexander Brandon, Michiel Van Den Bos, Peter Hajba, Andrew Sega and Dan Gardopée return to compose a brand new remix album that puts a new spin on its classic soundtrack.
Tournament Rematch: Unreal Tournament Remixed arrives on January 24 and will be available through major music services including Spotify, Tidal, YouTube Music and Apple Music. Coming from gaming soundtrack label Materia Collective, physical vinyl and cassette versions are also up for pre-order now.
With just over a week to go until launch, we’ve been given exclusive access to three upcoming tracks, including a remix of the game’s legendary title theme. You can listen to each of them below.
Look on it
Our first track is “Title”, which reinvents the Unreal tournament Title theme. “It is, along with the main menu, considered the main theme of Unreal Tournament and even appeared with some arrangements in the Unreal Tournament episode of Secret Level on Amazon Prime,” explains composer Alexander Brandon.
“It is used as the great voice of Lani Minella sets the stage for the players of the world of Unreal tournament“.

There’s also “Forgone Destruction,” which first accompanied the beloved multiplayer map Facing Worlds. “This Michiel Van Den Bos track was part of one of Unreal Tournament’s most popular maps: Facing Worlds,” explains Brandon. “Two towers connected by land bridges floating in space. Incredibly atmospheric and memorable.
Look on it
Our third and final track is the frenetic “Go Down” which was part of Deck 16’s cramped deathmatch map. Brandon describes it as “one of the most famous tracks that was remixed in the later sequels of Unreal Tournament” and attributes its popularity to the fact that Deck 16 was “probably one of the closest and fastest cards that players kept coming to.” back to!”
