- It contains 27 remixed songs from the Unreal Tournament soundtrack
- You can exclusively listen to three early tracks below
Unreal tournament remains one of the most iconic and impactful first-person shooter (FPS) games over 25 years since it was first released. Now its original composers Alexander Brandon, Michiel Van Den Bos, Peter Hajba, Andrew Sega and Dan Gardopée return to score a brand new remix album that puts a fresh spin on its classic soundtrack.
Tournament Rematch: Unreal Tournament Remixed arrives on January 24th and will be available via major music services including Spotify, Tidal, YouTube Music and Apple Music. From boutique game soundtrack label Materia Collective, physical vinyl and cassette versions are also up for pre-order now.
With just over a week 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 at
Our first track is ‘Title’ which recreates Unreal tournament Title theme. “This, along with the main menu, is considered the main theme of Unreal Tournament and even appeared with some arrangement in the Unreal Tournament episode of Secret Level on Amazon Prime,” says composer Alexander Brandon.
“It is used as Lani Minella’s great voice sets the stage for the players in the world Unreal tournament.”

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