Composer Inon Zur, who is currently composing the music for Starfield, discussed his thoughts on some philosophical questions and themes that our upcoming game will answer with comfort and courage in his latest comments.
In the composer’s recent interview with the Gamertag Radio podcast, the composer states that his music lives up to its hero status because it’s not just a soundtrack. It’s an “emotion” that shapes the player’s feelings and even puts them in the hero’s shoes. It thus forms a fascinating connection to some of the philosophical themes that Starfield “bravely” answers. The game’s philosophical questions are the biggest questions of our lives. The game deals with these questions in the context of the fate of humanity and what is the point of life in the first place.
Inon Zur talks about musical inspiration, citing some classical pieces from characters like Beethoven and Mozart in their youth. Dear reader, don’t expect “Starfield” to be Zur’s first musical experience in the gaming industry. He also worked on the music for Fallout, which is something they’re glad to gain experience with from a company like Bethesda.
Starfield seems to have hands as capable of inspiring players as it does itself. The inspiration produces some passion with the game's characters and the vast space. We are expecting something that has been put into a lot of time, effort and technical work and, as we are used to with Bethesda games, we will see a very big release of this particular game.
As of now, we don't know an exact release date for the game. At least we know from Microsoft since the announcement that both games will be delayed into the first half of 2023. This goes back to "both teams at Arkane Austin and Bethesda Game Studios have incredible ambitions for their games" and want to give us the seamless experience we've come to expect.
