A Q&A with the Composer of "A Cup of Liber-Tea"
Is the new Helldivers 2 update worth playing?
Looking at video game composer Wilbert Roget's credits from 2024 alone, the contrast and depth of his work is shocking. Roget composed the stirring, over-the-top songs heard while saving democracy in Helldivers 2, but also the haunting soundtrack for the indie survival-via-your-car game Pacific Drive. Roget's work will also be heard in Star Wars Outlaws later this month.
Polygon asked Roget a few questions about his process as part of Polygon FM, our themed week celebrating the intersection of music and gaming.
Polygon: Was there a game soundtrack or song that inspired you to continue creating game music? Can you set the stage for how that felt to you and why the music was so effective?
