WATCH: Witcher 3 Musical Composers Discuss The Soundtrack’s “Beautiful Ugliness” And Its Inspiration
When it comes to developing a video game, many factors are taken into consideration. From the overall style down to every word that is spoken or typed, it isn’t difficult to think that each part is as crucial as the last. One aspect that plays a part is a game’s music, which can provide that extra step of immersion that players desire. A recent video featuring the Witcher 3 musical composers shows what went into the soundtrack of a title that is still going strong a couple years after its release.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which was released in 2015, has seen its fair share of success. Regarded as one of the greatest role-playing games of all time, the title has a compelling composition that draws players even deeper into Geralt of Rivia’s tale. The video, captured at a 2016 Game Developers Conference(GDC) session(but only just released), features Witcher 3 musical composers Marcin Przybylowicz and Mikolai Stroinski. They discuss the inspirations behind the game’s wonderful soundtrack and its “beautiful ugliness.” Check it out below:
There’s no denying the power that music has when properly aligned with a game. Perfectly syncing with the pacing of the narrative and a title’s action only creates a more immersive experience, and one that players can certainly appreciate. The Witcher 3 musical composers did an incredible job with this and it’s one of the many reasons the game will continue to be loved for some time to come.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
