Borislav Slavov (born 1973) is a Bulgarian composer. He has composed for a number of video games, including for Crytek's Crysis series and Larian Studios' Divinity: Original Sin II and Baldur's Gate 3.
Early life
Slavov was born in 1973 in Sofia, Bulgaria. In 2002, he completed a master's degree in computer science and began working for a software company, but eventually switched fields to music. Slavov has stated that his experience in IT helped him in his later career as a video game composer, but not being classically trained was challenging and meant he had to catch up.
Works
Slavov composed the soundtrack for Baldur's Gate 3, for which he won the award for best music from the British Academy Games Award. He has also composed for Crysis 2, Crysis 3, Ryse: Son of Rome, Warface and Divinity: Original Sin II. Knights of Honor was the first commercial title he composed for.
