She reports that in a recent interview with the Irish radio program The Lunchbox. “I recently wrote a song with (composer) Michael McGlynn for a PlayStation game,” she said.
Host Geoff Harris asked for more information, and while McMahon remains secretive – no doubt due to signed NDAs – she does offer some hints. For example, the song was recorded in Irish, it is a remake of a major game and it should be announced around Christmas. This could mean the game will be announced at The Game Awards, which will be held on December 9.
Composer Michael McGlynn is no stranger to game soundtracks. He previously collaborated with composer Yasunori Mitsuda on the song Shadow of the Lowlands for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. He also performed with Mitsuda to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the Xenogears series.
Many gamers therefore speculate that it is a remake of Xenogears. Other gamers point to the fact that the closing song of Metal Gear Solid is also sung in Irish. There have been rumors of a remake of that game for quite some time now.
