Cult of the Lamb video game team honours work of original composer

Key points

• Cult of the Lamb developer Massive Monster has announced the River Boy Scholarship to honour composer Narayana Johnson, who died while the team was working on the game's next expansion, Woolhaven. The studio paused development to grieve before returning to finish the work using Johnson's completed music.
• Composer Ray Vavasis, who had worked with Johnson, continued writing tracks for the expansion. The scholarship will support composers moving into games, offering funding, mentorship and studio space.
• Applications open in 2027.
