Akira Yamaoka linked to two PlayStation-exclusive indie projects

While Akira Yamaoka‘s involvement in the newly-announced Silent Hills looks uncertain, fans can still look forward to some fresh new things from him in the near-future: he’s attached to two PlayStation-exclusive indie games.

First of all, Sony have confirmed that Yamaoka has penned a track for the PlayStation Vita’s Murasaki Baby. According to Sony, “he partnered up with Ovosonico Music Producer and Co-Founder, Gianni Ricciardi to create a truly weird and wonderful track”. The game’s announcement trailer is shown below:

As we previously confirmed, Yamaoka is also working on the soundtrack for the PlayStation 4’s RIME together with David Garcia. Developed by Deadlight‘s Tequila Works, the colourful cel-shaded title is all about light and will feature a vivid soundtrack. The game’s latest trailer is shown below:
