Revision 1

Composers

• Nikola Kolodziejczyk: Lead composer. Previously composed for The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine DLC

• Piotr Musial: Additional composer. Known for Frostpunk 2

• Mikolai Stroinski: Additional composer. Known for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

The three composers were revealed in Community Bulletin Board #3, titled "Music in Our Blood." Having both Stroinski and Kolodziejczyk — composers who worked on different aspects of The Witcher 3's music — working on the same project again ties the soundtrack to the same lineage, though the musical direction is distinct.

Musical direction

The soundtrack is rooted in 14th-century Eastern European folk aesthetics. The goal is historical texture rather than generic orchestral fantasy scoring. The music opens with restrained, folk-influenced vocals layered over scraped violin lines, building steadily with heavy percussion toward wailing vocals and frantic string work.

Kolodziejczyk has said: "We wanted the music to be grounded, to show that we as Coen are not a superhero, but a protagonist, with real challenges." Combat music is described as dynamic and fast-paced, designed to match the game's supernatural abilities while keeping a sense of weight.
