Before the armor, there was a child.

The Fall of Reach follows the origins of John-117 and the Spartans. Tom’s original score accompanies an animated story rather than an interactive campaign, with its focus on character, loss and the bonds within Blue Team.

Behind the score

Reading the story before scoring it.

Tom read Eric Nylund’s novel before beginning the score, looking for the emotional foundation of its characters. The music follows their beginnings as well as the scale of the Halo universe around them.
