Tron: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Tron: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) was scored by Nine Inch Nails for the Joachim Rønning film of the same name. It was released on September 19, 2025. This release bears both a Halo number and a Null number, with the numbers being 36 and 22, respectively.
The album has additional production and programming contributions from repeat collaborators Boys Noize, Hudson Mohawke (WitchGang), and BJ Burton ("Vaster Than Empires"). The hype sticker on the physical releases states that the album contains "over 70 minutes of music", but the runtime is actually less than 67 minutes. It is not known if this was a typo or if something was cut from the album at the last minute.
The idea of the soundtrack being released under the NIN moniker, rather than under Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, came from President of Walt Disney Music, Tom MacDougall, who approached them after their work on Soul.[1] Reznor and Ross are also credited as executive producers on the film.
