‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Composers Say the Massive Score Is All About ’90s Attitude
Alex Stedman News Editor, Variety.comCD Projekt Red’s music director Marcin Przybyłowicz was hardly finished with the Polish developer’s last major tentpole, “The Witcher III: Wild Hunt,” when he had to start thinking about its next, “Cyberpunk 2077.”In fact, when CDPR announced “Cyberpunk 2077” in 2012, he was still working on the music for “The Witcher III’s” expansions. Though Przybyłowicz, who in high school played the pen-and-paper “Cyberpunk” RPG on which the video game is based, was eager to jump into the futuristic new game — he was confronted with a project that’s truly massive in scope, something that happened with “The Witcher III” as well.“We agree to do something, so OK,” he tells Variety via a Zoom call.
