Hello Engineers!
We are excited to announce another music competition, this time as “Sounds of Next Frontier” for Space Engineers 2!
Have you got some musical skill and a passion for the stars? This competition gives you the chance to have a music track inspired by Space Engineers 2 that you create featured in our games and on our official youtube channel. On top of this, winners will also receive steam gift cards.
Your entry could evoke classic vibes of the game, or be a truly original take on it! It could be slower or faster, dramatic or relaxed - any music genre you want.
Our past two Music Competitions were some of the most memorable experiences for us, and we can’t wait to hear the musical masterpieces you create this time. Good luck!
