In Full Score book celebrates ten years of the music of ABZÛ
Celebrating the ten-year anniversary of the game soundtrack's debut, composer Austin Wintory has opened orders through Bandcamp for 'ABZÛ In Full Score,' decorated with art by Giant Squid game director Matt Nava. The blueprint of the music score lays out the lush orchestration, paired in-game with synthesizers, choir, an ensemble of seven harps, and oboe solos performed by Kristin Naigus.

The Nashville Scoring Orchestra, London Voices and Abzu Harp Ensemble performed the orchestral score for the independently-developed underwater adventure title launched on August 2nd of 2016. A three-minute behind-the-scenes video, recorded at Ocean Way Nashville studio, can be viewed on YouTube, while excerpts are previewed on the composer's SoundCloud channel.

ABZÛ is available for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One, published by 505 Games. The Windows PC edition is on Steam, GOG.com, and the Epic Games Store, verified for use with the Steam Deck. The full soundtrack is also hosted on streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music.
