The acclaimed Yuzo Koshiro is back with the incredible score of Earthion! Listen to the sounds of this modern classic shmup with our limited transparent blue cassette tape release! Featuring 31 tracks from the video game, along with a J-card featuring artwork by illustrator Mitsuhiro Arita.
Created by Japanese developer Ancient Corporation, studio of the legendary video game composer Yuzo Koshiro (Streets of Rage, ActRaiser), Earthion is a space-themed 2D side scrolling shooter that sees players guide space fighter pilot Azusa Takahashi through eight chaotic levels, each with their own unique environments, enemies, and screen-filling boss fights.
Earthion has been developed to run natively on SEGA Genesis & Mega Drive, pushing the original 16-bit hardware to its absolute limit, and includes an original soundtrack from Yuzo Koshiro. Returning to his Koshiro’s 16-bit roots, Earthion features 27 original tracks, alongside an incredible soundscape of effects to transport players back to a golden age of retro gaming. Highly customisable scanline configurations allow players to get an authentic retro experience on modern displays.
Earthion is being created by an all-star team including Makoto Wada (Gotta Protectors, Royal Anapoko Academy) and Yuzo Koshiro (Streets of Rage, ActRaiser). Japanese artist Mitsuhiro Arita, best known for his work illustrating Marvel® Comics and the Pokémon™ Trading Card Game, also lent his hand to two stunning key art pieces for Earthion.
Earthion is coming to PC, PlayStation®4, PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™, and on a physical cartridge for the Genesis and Mega Drive later this year.
