EA signs deal to have its music be licensed by others

We have seen games license music from others but soon you may hear game music tunes in other areas like movies and TV shows. Variety reports that Electronic Arts has signed a five year deal with Extreme Music to have them represent over 2,000 music cues from EA's game music library to other companies.

That means you could be hearing that classic theme from the Battlefield games in, say, an action movie trailer or TV show. EA's music includes work from renowned movie composers like Michael Giacchino (who created the terrific music for the Medal of Honor games) and Hans Zimmer.
