The Ultimate Crossover: Sand Land Snags Sandstorm by Darude in Its New Story Trailer | Push Square
In what is a frankly unbelievable move, Bandai Namco has managed to secure iconic — and heavily memed — 2000 trance track 'Sandstorm' for its new Sand Land trailer. Honestly, it fits quite well, but we're still in disbelief that the marketing team actually went and got this done. We can only assume that Darude, the original DJ behind Sandstorm, is a massive, diehard fan of the manga and anime property. A dream come true, we're sure.
The trailer itself offers a new look at key story beats, and again, it's well edited. Sand Land is out for PS5 and PS4 later this month, on the 26th April.
Did you ever expect to hear Sandstorm over a trailer for Sand Land? Dance until your knees give out in the comments section below.
Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.
Feels like I'm watching a game trailer in 2004
Amazing use of sandstorm haha
I think it slaps and as we inch further away from Megadeth’s Rust in Peace, the pinnacle of art as we know it, “meme” songs will only stand to seem more like masterpieces. Kids gonna be unironically inspired by Rick Astley et al
(Me getting flashbacks to that horrible YouTube comment sections meme from a few years back)
