The DEATH Stranding 2: on the beach score soundtrack is out now!!
After almost 6 years since the first game and 3 years of writing, it's insanely exciting to finally have people get to experience the music of DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH!
This project stands on the shoulders of its predecessor and reaches farther and wider to reach new terrain to tread. I am very proud of what we've accomplished and can't wait to see people interact with the game alongside the soundtrack!
ABOUT Ludvig
Ludvig Forssell is a composer known for building rich, immersive sound worlds — especially through his long-running collaboration with acclaimed game director Hideo Kojima.
His work on Death Stranding helped define the game’s distinct tone, blending haunting textures with emotional depth. The 2019 release became a critical and cultural hit, earning Forssell multiple awards and BAFTA nominations for both Best Music and Best Audio.
As the former in-house composer and audio director at Kojima Productions, he played a key role in shaping the sound of the studio's projects — a partnership that continues with the highly anticipated Death Stranding 2, set to release on June 26.
​
Forssell’s most recent film score can be heard in Boy Kills World, the Lionsgate action thriller starring Bill Skarsgård as a deaf protagonist navigating a hyper-stylized world. His inventive score amplifies the film’s chaotic energy and darkly comic tone.
​
Earlier in his career, Forssell was a lead composer at Konami, where he scored Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, which The Guardian hailed as “the greatest stealth game ever made.”
Raised in Umeå, Sweden, Forssell started writing music young and developed a deep love for Japanese pop culture. After moving to Tokyo to study game scoring, he quickly found his footing. Whether working in games or film, Forssell approaches each project as a creative challenge. “Writing music is never a given,” he says. “The fun part is solving the puzzle.”
