Imagine Dragons has shared the official music video for “Children of the Sky,” a new single inspired by Bethesda Game Studios’ highly anticipated and quickly approaching sci-fi RPG, Starfield, which officially launches on September 6 exclusively for Windows PC and Xbox Series X|S. Created in collaboration with Starfield composer Inon Zur (Fallout 4, Dragon Age: Inquisition, et al.), this track may be the perfect thing for Starfield owners to listen to as they wait for their pre-loads on Steam and other platforms to finish. Some of Imagine Dragons’ other hit songs include “Battle Cry,” a track that was featured in 2014’s Transformers: Age of Extinction with Mark Wahlberg.
“Bethesda created iconic games we’ve been playing for most of our lives, and we’re honored to have collaborated on this song for Starfield,” said Dan Reynolds, Imagine Dragons’ frontman and avid game aficionado. “The song, like the game, asks some of the most difficult questions we face as humans trying to find our place in the universe.”
“I’m so excited and honored to reveal that I have collaborated with the legendary group Imagine Dragons to create Children of the Sky (a Starfield song),” said Starfield composer Inon Zur. “The band has created an amazing, emotional, and memorable song, and I joined them in crafting the Starfield motif into the song as well as iconic elements from the Main Theme and the Starfield orchestral treatment. The outcome is a massive celebration for Starfield and I hope that the group’s fans as well as gamers from all over the world will find it as exhilarating and magnificent as we all feel.”
Imagine Dragons crafted “Children of the Sky (a Starfield song)” with the universe of Starfield in mind. Its rapturous orchestration reflects an introspective questioning about our place in the universe and the big questions of life, with moments of drama amplified by way of a seismic signature hook.
