This is a monumental achievement for Fox. There is a caveat! Fox says “ It’s the only song made, and you can’t hear it until you beat the game,” which likely means that it’s either a postgame or credits song. The snippet we get is over a minute long, enough to get the gist of the tune. The rest, as they say, is history, as Fox asked for the chance to contribute to Sword & Shield, and told him “yes” over that very meal. That correspondence led to a friendship, which in turn led him to a meetup with other Game Freak members over sukiyaki. Now, thanks to a new post on the official Pokemon website, we know exactly what that song is: so we don’t have to hunt for it on launch day.įox notes that “a lot of people from Game Freak” ended up becoming Undertale fans, and “out of the blue” he decided to message Go Ichinose-san, a Pokemon composer, on Twitter.
Just last week Undertale creator Toby Fox revealed that he was given the opportunity to contribute a song for Pokemon Sword & Shield‘s soundtrack, but it was left ambiguous as to what that would entail.
