[Fat4all]

death stranding had some wonderful original music

some people were a little miffed by MGSV's tracks, but i still really dug them

good luck to him on his next project!

 

[ezekial45]

His work on MGSV and DS was incredible. Can't wait to see what he works on next.

His work on MGSV was fantastic:

 

[Uzupedro]

MGSV and DS had outstanding OSTs, he is really good at his job and I wish best of luck in his next ventures.

 

[AuthenticM]

I wish him well. dude is talented.

Great time for KojiPro to bring back Henry Gregson-Williams!

yeah, i think it was most of the humbug was people upset HGW wasnt really staying on after ground zeroes

ludvigs work itself was fantastic, his lyrics on Quiet's Theme made it one of my favs

 

[Xils]

Ludvig: Important news tomorrow.
People: NEW KOJIPRO GAME!!!
Ludvig:

lol

I love his work. Hope to hear more from him soon.

 

[Aurongel]

He did some solid work for MGSV that largely went unappreciated because he was following up HGW.

 

[Uzupedro]

And it's good for them to let this clear, he can and he very likely will continue to work with KJP in the future.

 

[RecRoulette]

A Phantom Pain was an amazing track and my favorite from MGSV, dude's super talented. Hope he kills it wherever he goes

 

[Kard8p3]

oh wow. Hope Ludvig nothing but the best!

 

[Arex]

he will probably continue working with KJP, but now free to do his own stuff for others too. sounds good :P

Yup, it was probably a mutual decision where everyone is happy. Good on him and wish him the best.

 

[Mohsenix]

Ludvig doesn't miss. His works on DS, Mandalorian and Tenet were fantastic.

 

[Mary Celeste]

His work is absolutely amazing.

See the sunset
The day is ending
Let that yawn out
There's no pretending

You're thinking of Ludwig Gorransson, he did the music for The Mandalorian and Tenet.

 

[Hikari]

Fuck, this makes me sad.... I really loved his OST. It was so damn good...... Death Stranding had a AMAZING OST and I CANNOT STRESS it enough.

 

[TripaSeca]

This guy is brilliant! I have his DS OST and it blows me away Everytime!
Wish him all the success!

 

[DrBo42]

Super talented guy, I imagine he just wants to continue to branch out.

I'll never forget the theme of womb explosion.

 

[Pyro]

Another great composer going freelance, wish him the best!

 

[DarkplaceGarth]

Forsell is now for sale! He does great work, will be cool to see what new stuff he works on

 

[Strafer]

Amazing composer.

Sad to see him leave.

 

[Irene]

He is fantastic and his work on DS in particular really spoke to me. Wishing him the best!

 

[buttzilla]

Wonder if he'll be pulled aboard for that MGS movie that's totally gonna happen.

 

[KillLaCam]

That is not what I expected

 

[Buttonbasher]

BB's Theme is still just absurdly out of control amazing. Can't wait to hear what he does next!

Oh wow my bad, I didn't realize.

 

[TheChungusAmongUs]

I loved "Theme of Womb Explosion"

 

[J 0 E]

Wonder if he will continue to live in Japan.

Two of my favorite pieces of Death Stranding's OST.




It's worth noting that Forssell won the best music award at the Game Awards for both The Phantom Pain and Death Stranding.

 

[Dever]

fuck

nooooo

Wish him the best tho!

 

[sacrificengineer]

Very distinct-sounding composer, wish him all the best in any new endeavors.

Ludwig Goransson did the bolded.

 

[Rendering...]

Ffffffffuuuuuuuu... I hope they offer him a sweet enough deal that he'll collaborate on their next project. He did magical things with the Death Stranding soundtrack.

 

[DieH@rd]

Games are made too slowly these days, composers can do a lot of projects during that time.

I'm sure he will be back if KojiPro needs him.

 

[Gero]

nooo :(

edit : oh so they still can/will work together. Awesome!

 

[Neil98]

I'm sure he'll collaborate with KJP on their next project, just as Yoko Shimomura has been doing with Square for the past almost 20 years

 

[Ahti]

I love both scores. Good luck to him!

 

[Scruffy8642]

Dudes a freaking incredible composer. Look forward to whatever he works on next.

 

[Ronnie Poncho]

I hope he comes back for KojiPro's next project.

absolutely amazing composer and I can't wait to see what he does next.

 

[Future_TraX]

I'm ok witht that.
Now get Harry Gregson Williams back Kojimbo.

 

[Masagiwa]

Umeå represent

 

[BadWolf]

Kind of expected I guess since his rep grew, probably started getting lots of offers.

Wonder who KojiPro will replace him with.

Wow, he is involved in "AAA" productions on video games, TV series and movies. What a CV, impressive 🏆

 

[Mantrox]

Hope for the best for him.
But talking about Kojima and MGS just reminds me of Harry Gregson Williams, and how i miss him and the franchise.

 

[MegaApple]

Love his work.

DS Soundtrack fits so perfectly with the game.
The first moment with the president had this track on, and I was hooked.
