My pick would probaly be Scott Tobin. He composed the soundtrack for games like Project reality, Squad, Post scriptum etc.

Jesper Kyd's work is going to be a big influence on the score for sure. I absolutely loved his work on Hitman 2-4 growing up and feel like that dark orchestral style translates to Ready or Not's overall aesthetic.

Some of the responses here in general are fantastic and get me rather nervous, but I'm a big fan of Kyd, Hotline Miami and Perturbator/Carpenter Brut, Bach, John Carpenter, Johann Johansson etc. What I will say is that I'm aiming in general for an orchestral/synth hybrid, so it definitely won't be as synth-heavy as Hotline Miami, but perhaps more synthy than the older Hitman games. Perhaps a Mass Effect type hybrid, but less cinematic to suit the tactical shooter style of the game over an RPG where the music plays a much more forward role. I absolutely love listening to soundtracks like Mass Effect and Ori and the Blind Forest, however gorgeous oboe lines and lush string arrangements aren't the first thing I imagine when breaching doors and saving hostages. They'll have their place, but it'll be piecemeal.

Overall the biggest influences will likely be Johansson, Goldsmith and Kyd.
