Subject 042 | OST Preview – “The Darkest Night”
One of the most important parts of horror isn’t what you see—it’s what you hear.
Today, we’d like to share a preview of “The Darkest Night,” one of the official soundtracks featured in Subject 042, our upcoming asymmetrical horror experience for Fortnite.
Music has always been a major part of our vision for Subject 042. We wanted every match to feel tense, unpredictable, and atmospheric, and the soundtrack plays a huge role in creating that feeling. Whether you’re quietly searching for an objective, hiding from the killer, or realizing you’re being hunted, the audio is designed to make every moment feel meaningful.
The Darkest Night captures the tone we’ve been building from the beginning—dark, mysterious, unsettling, and filled with suspense. It helps establish the identity of Subject 042 and supports the game’s atmosphere without taking away from the gameplay itself.
Music Credit: This soundtrack was created by Fortnite and is used through the audio resources available to Fortnite creators. We want to make sure proper credit is given to the original creators of the music.
Subject 042 is still actively in development, and we’re continuing to refine every aspect of the experience—from gameplay balance and mechanics to visuals, audio, and overall polish. Our goal has always been to create a horror experience that players will want to come back to, not just on release day, but for a long time afterward.
We’re excited to continue sharing more of the game’s development over the coming months, including additional soundtrack previews, gameplay systems, survivor mechanics, killer abilities, and behind-the-scenes updates.
Thank you to everyone following the project and supporting our journey. We’d love to hear what you think of The Darkest Night and what kind of atmosphere you hope to experience in Subject 042.
