A musical legend went to the studio. That alone makes this 110 Industries project look very promising.

Scarface was one of the best films of the 1980s, and Al Pacino’s performance is still considered outstanding today. However, the original soundtrack was also of high quality and was composed by modern electronic music pioneer Giorgio Moroder. Now 80 (nearly 81!) years old, the old man is still available for music, and 110 Industries asked him to create the theme song for the game. And the vocals will be provided by Stefanie Joosten, the woman behind Quiet, of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain fame. She is also the creative director of the game.

“Giorgio is a bonafide legend in the music world, and I’m a huge fan of his work on the likes of Scarface, Midnight Express, and Top Gun. Getting someone of Giorgio’s profile to work on music for Vengeance is Mine shows you how committed we are to making this game something special, and I can’t wait to show you more. Putting Stefanie on the same track with him was a home run. We are incredibly proud of this collaboration,” said 110 Industries founder and creative director Sergei Kolobashkin in a press release.

The company wrote the following about the title song: “Moroder is a pioneering figure in the musical world, credited for his innovative use of synthesizers and his vast influence on everything from disco to new wave, to techno. He has worked with scores of iconic artists, including Daft Punk, David Bowie and Donna Summer, and won three academy awards, scooping the Best Original Score Oscar for Midnight Express and two Best Song Oscars for his work on Flashdance and Top Gun. The Dance Music Hall of Fame inductee’s career includes his work on the music for the acclaimed 1983 movie Scarface, four Golden Globes and four Grammy Awards.

Stefanie Joosten, who sings on the track produced by Moroder, is an actress, singer, and creative director on Vengeance is Mine. Stefanie is highly recognized in the videogame industry and has also appeared in several other games, films and TV shows. This song marks the first collaboration between Stefanie and Moroder.”

And here’s a new overview of the game: “Vengeance is Mine is a third-person melee mech combat title with a unique time-manipulation mechanic that adds a fascinating twist to encounters. Thanks to the capabilities of the HYDRA mech suit, the player will have the ability to speed up time and blink towards unsuspecting enemies or rewind time to readjust combos or evade death. HYDRA also comes packing an energy-based projectile weapon that allows you to take on foes at a distance.

In Vengeance is Mine, players will step into the shoes of Gabriel Jaeger, brutally executed by his brother to obtain an old piece of technology that will allow him to operate the Deacon—a derelict military installation buried under the streets of New Amsterdam. Now in complete control of the Deacon, Charles Jaeger rallies his flock to meet their spiritual leader Robert Wright beyond the horizon of space and time. His only problem is Gabriel. Somehow making it out alive, Gabriel is in control of the prototype HYDRA mech suit and ready to wreak his revenge.”

Vengeance is Mine is allegedly launching in 2023 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC.
