Anik’s edited version of the Killzone 3 story trailer shows how the 21st-century music style called dubstep brings a new and intense experience to gaming with its blaring frenzied electronic tones.

Using the audio of Bar 9 Piano tune combined with the PlayStation 3 Killzone 3 Trailer, developed by [Guerrilla Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/horizon-forbidden-west-burning-shores) and published by [Sony Computer Entertainment](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/call-of-duty-team), Anik aka Anik28Wrath shows that dubstep is the future of enhanced gaming experiences. The game’s immersive action, intense combat and wild shooting makes this [first-person shooter game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-quimera) all the more fun. It’s quite clear that if gaming companies are to have a strategic advantage in the market, dubstep is an incredible idea and the way forward.

Anik has also edited other popular games such as Dead Space 2 and God of War 3, incorporating dubstep and heavy metal into those pieces as well.
