The composers and NEXT Studios themselves designed the concept of combining future bass and ancient Chinese music instruments like the Qu Qin, which existed in China for over 2000 years and is still being used today, and the Shaman drums. In-game music composers were invited to do some re-arrangement, mixing, and mastering, for the game's 18 tracks, which last a total of over 36 minutes. Upon purchase, the files will be downloaded to the Bladed game folder in the user's Steam directory.
