Konami, in collaboration with Milan Records / Sony Music Masterworks, today premiered “Back to the Sea,” the debut single from the upcoming original soundtrack to the video game Darwin’s Paradox!.
Written and produced by French musical producer Franck Lascombe, founder of indie-pop group FlyPop, the track launches alongside an official music video conceived and produced by ZDT Studio, the creators of Darwin’s Paradox! Here’s what they had to say about it:
The “Back to the Sea” music video blends in-game visuals with original animated sequences, creating a stylised performance piece, bridging the world of music and interactive storytelling. With characters from the game performing within the video itself, the project highlights the intersection between gaming and contemporary music culture.
As the lead single from the forthcoming soundtrack, “Back to the Sea” expands the narrative universe of Darwin’s Paradox!, bringing its characters and themes to life through music-driven animation. The full original game soundtrack will be released on April 3 from Milan Records.
If you missed it, Darwin’s Paradox! is a story-driven action-adventure video game that follows Darwin, a spirited young octopus unexpectedly swept from his ocean home into a chaotic and unfamiliar world. Blending cinematic storytelling with inventive platforming and expressive environmental design, the game invites players to navigate perilous landscapes, outsmart adversaries and harness Darwin’s unique abilities in a quest to return to the sea.
Darwin’s Paradox! releases April 2 on PlayStation5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, Epic Games Store, and Steam.
