In this very special episode of Bonfire Conversations, I finally sit down with Ludvig Forssell—composer and audio director behind Metal Gear Solid V, Death Stranding, and Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.We talk about his journey from Sweden to Japan, how he landed his first gig at Konami, and what it’s really like collaborating with Hideo Kojima. Ludvig shares stories from behind the scenes, the emotional philosophy behind Death Stranding 2, and why AAA games may be forgetting the beauty of music.We also explore love, fear, and absurdity in our Penny for Your Thoughts segment—including what it’s like to work with Norman Reedus and the moment a fishbone beach became the sound of another world.This conversation took place while I was in Iran—just weeks after the country was bombarded and cut off from the world. But against all odds, through chaos and broken signals, we made this connection happen. And maybe that’s the spirit of Death Stranding too.🎧 Subscribe to Bonfire Conversations on YouTube and all major podcast platforms.📌 Hosted by Hamidreza Nikoofar :https://x.com/HRNikoofar📍 Guest: Ludvig Forssell: https://x.com/ludvig_forssellChapters:
