In celebration of reaching TEN THOUSAND likes on Facebook, we’ve released the new Shank 2 Theme Song! Shank’s soundtrack has always been a huge part of the game, and once again our composers Jason Garner and Vince DeVera just killed it.
Here’s the download link for the theme song: Shank 2 Theme
You can also listen to the entire Shank 1 soundtrack from Vince and Jason’s Soundcloud account below.

Every since Mark of the Ninja was released, we’ve had numerous requests for more. The trouble is, we very intentionally built Ninja to be a complete experience, both in terms of its mechanics and narrative.
But you all kept sending us messages. Then we considered what a “Criterion Collection” version of the game might be like. And with that in mind, we’ve been putting together Mark of the Ninja Special Edition. Here’s what you can look forward to in the Special Edition:
- A new level, set in a flashback to the early life of Dosan (the enlightened tattoo artist) that will set the stage for the events that transpire in Mark of the Ninja.
- A new style of play, which includes a nonlethal takedown ability, and provides a hybrid of lethal and nonlethal approaches to the game.
- Two new items, one more geared to stealth and concealment and one a bit more direct. Both the items and the new play style will be available in the main game as well as the new level. (more details at a later date).
- Finally, we’ve added a ton of developer commentary to the main game. All the original levels will feature a number of commentary nodes that discuss various aspects of the game’s creation, anecdotes, at least two history lessons and other behind the scenes info from nearly everyone on the team.
- Developer commentary has been fully localized for English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Japanese. (Additional details below.)
For anyone who has already played Mark of the Ninja, we’re hoping the Special Edition will give them a reason to revisit the game with both new challenges and insights, much like you’d watch the director’s commentary of one of your favourite movies.
The Special Edition will be available as DLC on Xbox Live Arcade and Steam. It will be released this summer (price still TBD).
Additionally, the Special Edition will be playable in part at PAX East this upcoming weekend at booth #774. If you’re going to be in Boston, we’d love to chat with you and have you check out the game (along with Don’t Starve, of course)!
Thanks again for support us and our game, and we can’t wait to get the Special Edition out to you all!
I think the thing I like the most about Shank 2 is how virtually everything about the game so far looks improved compared to the first one, a rare feat for sequals.
EPIC!!!!
Game developers should learn that the soundtrack is gameplay too.
Freakin’ AWESOME…!:D
!!….Wow….Is the entire soundtrack being released?
Vince and Jason are definitely going to remaster the entire soundtrack. Just not sure when!
WOoooOooHHh YES, COOL, AMAZING, THE BEST!!!!!! I WISH THERE’S MORE hahahahahaha.
Is there any way to get the Shank 1 other than Soundcloud? I just purchased the Humble Bundle, and this is one of the best indie game soundtracks I’ve ever heard.
I’d increase my purchase amount if this was added. A lot of games in the Humble Bundle have put their soundtracks before.
Stay tuned. :)
Oh, absolutely. :)
