For me its has to be Xenoblade 3.

 

[Markio128]

Tough one. Probably Starfield (loved the Skyrim soundtrack), but I'm also looking forward to hearing the FF OSTs.

 

[Roman Empire]

Probably FFVII Reunion + Rebirth. Can't wait to hear the rearranged versions of beloved tracks and even a few new surprises as well. They killed with the main bosses' tracks on the Remake.

 

[Neff]

I never thought I'd say this but Street Fighter 6 is amazing so far.

Probably FFVII Reunion + Rebirth

And this.

 

[p_xavier]

Ys X. After that, like most, FFVII music. Kingdom Hearts IV should be good. And the GOAT of music, Sonic Frontiers of course.

 

[Celcius]

FF7 Rebirth and it's not even close

 

[JOEVIAL]

Tough one. Probably Starfield (loved the Skyrim soundtrack), but I'm also looking forward to hearing the FF OSTs.

Same. Though Inon Zur has worked on the Fallout games for Bethesda (he is composing for Starfield). Fallout 3 to Fallout 4 was a significant improvement. F4's soundtrack is fantastic actually and has a lot of great themes and motifs.

Starfield already has a great theme so I'm looking forward to hearing the rest Inon Zur has composed for the game!

 

[Captain Toad]

Final Fantasy XVI and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

 

[Rheon]

Starfield for sure.

 

[R6Rider]

Dragon's Dogma 2. Curious to see what they use for the title/menu theme.

Project Eve. Should have some great songs judging by the initial trailer.

Also, The Elder Scrolls VI which is still a ways off, but these games always have some good music, especially the themes.

THE LAST NIGHT

 

[swaffles23]

Hollow Knight Silksong.. Christopher Larkin created a masterpiece on the 1st game.



And also FFXVI.. Soken never misses

 

[MudoSkills]

Soul Hackers 2 is going to have some guaranteed gems.

 

[Thabass]

Probably FFVII Reunion + Rebirth. Can't wait to hear the rearranged versions of beloved tracks and even a few new surprises as well. They killed with the main bosses' tracks on the Remake.

Definitely on the list.

Add the following:
Final Fantasy XVI
Sonic Frontiers
TMNT: Shredder's Revenge (Now on Spotify and done by Tee Lopes, so it will be good).
Kingdom Hearts IV

 

[Danjin44]

Soul Hackers 2 is going to have some guaranteed gems.

Yeah I'm looking forward to OST for that game as well...

 

[JetBlackPanda]

FFVII:Rebirth absolutely

 

[TintoConCasera]

Really curious about Soul Hackers 2. Mainline SMTs always have banger OSTs, so I'm eager to listen to some of it, specially the battle tracks.

Also yeah, Dragon's Dogma 2 for sure.

Tough one. Probably Starfield (loved the Skyrim soundtrack)

Starfield for sure.

I might be wrong, but isn't Jeremy Soule, Skyrim's OST composer, not longer working with Bethesda anymore? I'm sure the music will be good, but I'll miss that man.

 

[tommib]

I'm not looking forward to whatever they do with RE4. It's going to be another soup of uneventful and unmemorable drone music.

Original is full of masterpieces with this save room track being one of the best ambient tracks ever recorded:

 

[Guilty_AI]

I'm always waiting for the next set of touhou songs




....and the blessed fan music that comes from it

My first thought on hearing that track was the village at night with Ashley in tow. Lovely to hear that soothing, peaceful music in the midst of all that tension.

OT: Final Fantasy XVI. The song from the original trailer really blew me away and I'm looking forward to hearing more.

 

[Fbh]

For this year Xenoblade 3 for sure.
Any soundtrack Yasunori Mitsuda is involved with instantly gets my attention. XBC1 and 2 had great music and if these previews are any indication Xeboblade 3 will be just as good in that regard.
By that same logic I'm also looking forward to Sea of Stars which will also have some tracks by Mitsuda. Can't make a Chrono Trigger inspired RPG without great music.

For the future definitely FFVII Rebirth. The ost was one of my favorite things about part 1 so I'm looking forward to what they'll do with the sequel.
Starfield should be great too, Bethesda usually has good music and I like space/sci fi themed orchestral music.

I'm also interested in how Hogwarts legacy will turn out. The music became such an iconic part of the movies and franchise in general that I hope they don't cheapen out with the game. It's probably not going to be John Williams tier but I hope it's good.

 

[Klayzer]

Like minds. X3 all the way. Mitsuda's compositions are easily some of my favorite video game music.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

Project Eve, Baby. That song in the reveal gave Parasite Eve vibes. + I am virgin.

 

[CatLady]

Starfield.
Halo and Bethesda's WRPGs always have the best soundtracks and what we've heard so far for Starfield is really good.

 

[killatopak]

Tough one. Probably Starfield (loved the Skyrim soundtrack), but I'm also looking forward to hearing the FF OSTs.

Jeremy Soule isn't making the OST anymore.

THE LAST NIGHT

Now here's a game that just vanished, what's going on with it? Is LONE still doing the score?

 

[killatopak]

FFXVI for me.

Soken is just

 

[Midn1ght]

Now here's a game that just vanished, what's going on with it? Is LONE still doing the score?

Official website still has LORN doing the music.
oddtales.net

Regarding the game, they had legal and funding issue in 2019 apparently.
The Last Night runs into 'massive legal and funding issues'

Development still ongoing and Twitter still active. The game has 300,000 Wishlists on Steam.
I hope they release it eventually.

 

[Danjin44]

Another one I like mention is this.

 

[Shifty1897]

Looking at everyone's answers has me excited for all of them. Game OST's have really been especially strong in the last four or five years and I'm glad that it's being prioritized more.
