Manners McDade Composers Score for PS5's ‘Sack Boy’

The Manners McDade team worked with the Sony PlayStation UK team and music supervisor James Marshall to create a score which is an integral part of the game, working interactively with the characters and game play. Seeing the music develop from demo track then recording the strings and brass in one of the first sessions at Air Studios after the first lockdown was an incredibly exciting experience for all involved.

"What's not to love about the chance to score Richard E Grant as an epic super villain, Dawn French as a wise elder of the town, in such a gorgeous looking and exciting game?! It was so good to have the chance to get back inside Air after the spring lockdown with all my old friends and some of the world's very best musicians to give Sackboy the epic quality it deserved.” Nick Foster, composer.

Sackboy was released on PS4 on 12th November and PS5 on 19th November
