We always like to see developers reward their fans with free things, even before their latest game has even come out. Shank developer Klei Entertainment spread word earlier today that they would release the soundtrack for their upcoming XBLA and PSN brawler once the amount of fans on their Facebook page surpassed 1500 fans. The only problem is that Klei underestimated the response they would get, so the soundtrack was not ready for release when they passed 1500 fans.

While you are waiting for the whole Shank soundtrack to be available for download, feel free to download the first track that was released with the original challenge post. The sample track seems to be a good indicator that Shank will have a really good soundtrack when it releases in about three weeks on August 24 on PSN and August 25 on XBLA, which will cost $14.99 or 1200 Microsoft Points depending on your preferred platform. We will update this post with more information when Klei Entertainment has released the soundtrack.
