Tyler Bates is a great guy who is best known for his film and TV scores (300, Dawn Of The Dead). His musical prowess is also crossing over in the world of video games. He has been recruited to score Army of Two 2 and it will be his second music project for a video game after Rise of the Argonauts.

The most interesting fact is that Army of Two 2 isn’t supposed to be a sequel. It's more likely to be a reboot of a franchise, which hasn't raked in dough and gained much fame. That's why the first Ao2 score by Trevor Morris (a mix of electronic and symphonic music, which is rather dull at times) won’t be referred to in any way. From the ground up this game would be nearly completely re-conceptualized of what the game is. Given Bates’ love of experiments and music of Nine Inch Nails we can suppose that the new score will be a kinda conceptual combination of explosive synthetic and industrial sound. The composer is happy to have the opportunity to work on video game music again and to do something really interesting. According to Bates' words, in total, the music in the videogame will turn out to be about 55 minutes. Well, it's yet too early to talk about the separate soundtrack album release.
