The New York Times reports that Paul McCartney has scored the soundtrack from the upcoming first-person shooter game Destiny. The score is a collaboration with Marty O'Donnell, who also scored the Halo video game series, and Mike Salvatori. McCartney also penned a theme song for the game, which will be released later this year. The theme song was recorded with a 120-piece orchestra in London's Abbey Road Studios. He's been working on the project since 2010. You can hear some music from the soundtrack below.
