Development

According to Eidos-Montréal's senior audio director Steve Szczepkowski, music is infused into the DNA of the game, and that their use of it goes far beyond usual expectations. In order to create a fresh and unique take on the Guardians of the Galaxy, when Richard Jacques began composing the score, they had the opportunity to create all new themes and musical motifs to accompany the story they wanted to tell. He and Steve Szczepkowski shared the same creative vision from the outset, wanting to "create an epic intergalactic score" that would be fitting for their Guardians experience, supporting the gameplay and narrative, whilst retaining the tone for the way the characters interact with one another. Regarding the main theme for Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy, it is meant to provide a sense of heroism and togetherness, but also retaining a sense of fun and teamwork whilst exploring the galaxy.
