- Soundtrack and film both release 16 October with original score plus two HEALTH songs
- Composers cite Street Fighter music as core influence on their musical development

## Summary

Composers Leo Birenberg and Zach Robinson have created a new cinematic version of "Guile's Theme," the iconic melody from the Street Fighter video game series, for the upcoming Street Fighter film. The reworked track pairs the familiar melody with orchestral arrangements and electric guitar to create an adrenaline-filled, heroic sound. The composers said that Yoko Shimomura's original Street Fighter music profoundly influenced their musical identities as young composers, making the opportunity to reinterpret the theme for the film particularly meaningful.

The Street Fighter film and its accompanying soundtrack both release on 16 October, with the soundtrack released through Milan Records. In addition to Birenberg and Robinson's original score, the soundtrack features two new songs written specifically for the film by industrial metal band HEALTH. Directed by Kitao Sakurai and set in 1993, the film follows characters Ryu and Ken as they reunite when recruited by Chun-Li for the World Warrior Tournament, with a cast including Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, Callina Liang, Jason Mamoa and others.
