If there’s one thingUndertalehas become famous for aside from its memorable characters, subversive RPG gameplay, and contributions to meme culture, it’s the soundtrack. Fewvideo game soundtracks of this generationhave left as big an impression as the one that gave fans “Megalovania,” and soon there will be a whole new way to experience it, since one fan is making a ska album out of Toby Fox’s music.
Jeremy Hunter of the YouTube channel Ska Tune Network has made a name for themselves in recent years by reimagining popular songs with the upbeat brass and bouncy guitar licks of third-wave ska. These include songs that have appeared in thesoundtracks for games likeTony Hawk’s Pro SkaterandThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Now they’ve turned their attention toUndertalewith their next project, a compilation of song covers calledDespite Everything, It’s Still You.

The album will feature ten ska-flavored takes on the game’s most memorable tracks. The first of these, “Determination,” was released earlier today, and features Hunter along with Max Boiko of the VGM Collective on the trumpet and Elwood Bond on drums. It should give fans ofUndertalea good idea of what to expect from the rest of Ska Tune Network’s covers.
In addition to the first track, the cover art for the album was also released.
Undertalehas inspired loads of fan content like remixes of its soundtrack, and its sequel,Deltarunewill likely inspire more as new content is released for it. It’s been a while since the game’s first part was released, but last monthToby Fox gave a status update onDeltaruneChapter 2, saying that he expects to have it finished by the end of the year.
Undertaleis available for PC, PS4, and Switch.
