It’s a musical journey that Techland offers us in collaboration with Olivier Derivière. The composer behind the soundtrack of dying light 2 invites us to understand how he created it. In 4 videos published on the game channel, Olivier explains the choices made to shape each sound element of the game, including exploration parkour, enemies, a music system dedicated to quests, etc.
A rich and well-narrated documentary that tackles one of the title’s strengths and has received a lot of feedback from the composer.
What struck me the most was the number of players who contacted me directly to express their enthusiasm for the music. They told me about all the emotions they felt while doing parkour, fighting, building the world and discovering the story. It was everything I hoped for: players enjoying the music, absorbing it and feeling like it contributes tremendously to their game. I’m still shocked to have received such positive feedback, but I’m especially grateful to Techland for allowing me to explore the music in Dying Light 2 like never before.
