Composer Jack Wall reveals why he didn't return for Mass Effect 3, despite composing the acclaimed soundtracks for the first two games. His work on the 80s-inspired sci-fi scores for 2007's Mass Effect and 2010's Mass Effect 2, particularly the iconic "Suicide Mission" in the latter, is widely celebrated by fans. Mass Effect 2 is frequently lauded as one of the greatest action RPGs ever created.
Wall's absence from the 2012 Mass Effect 3 soundtrack surprised many. A recent interview with The Guardian sheds light on the situation, attributing the split to disagreements with then-Mass Effect development lead, Casey Hudson. Wall stated, "Casey was not particularly happy with me at the end," adding that despite the creative friction, he remains immensely proud of his work, which even garnered a BAFTA nomination.
While The Guardian hinted at "creative tension," Wall kept specifics vague, stating, "Fallouts like that happen, it’s just part of the deal." He elaborated on the immense challenges of completing the Mass Effect 2 score, specifically the "Suicide Mission" sequence, suggesting this might have contributed to the strained relationship with Hudson. He described the process as "the biggest mind-f***ing thing I’ve ever done," highlighting the pressure and lack of support during the game's frantic final stages.
Following Mass Effect 2, Wall transitioned to composing for Call of Duty, recently contributing to Black Ops 6. BioWare, currently focused on the next Mass Effect installment after Dragon Age: The Veilguard, has yet to announce its composer for the upcoming title.
