Even if you’re not yet playingHades 2via Early Access, you may get in on the experience by way of your earholes. Supergiant Games has uploaded theentire soundtrack to YouTubeso you can get a listen.
I’ve been playingHades 2for the past week or so. I’m not sure how much I should give away, but suffice it to say, there’s a song in there that you experience on every run. It’s called “Coral Crown” and it is quite the earworm. Uncomfortably so, since after I heard that the soundtrack was available, my first response was, “Oh no,” because now I wouldn’t have to play through a run just to get to the spot where the song plays.
I’m listening to it now. I’ll probably be listening to it a few times more throughout the day. And then I can guarantee you that it will be echoing around in there for a few days. I already had it stuck in my head, but now it’s going to be louder and I’ll know the lyrics.
The soundtrack is composed by Supergiants’ in-house musician, Darren Korb, and it’s another banger. It’s broadly atmospheric and varied. More importantly, it’s extremely listenable outside the context of the game itself. I recommend giving it a try.
Hades 2is available now on PC via Early Access. The soundtrackcan now be streamedfrom YouTube.
