Dead Cells Original Soundtrack Deluxe Double Vinyl Release Date Announced

Vinyl Release for a Roguelike Hit

Following the success of the action-platformer Dead Cells, a deluxe double vinyl edition of its original soundtrack was announced for release. An Amazon product listing in 2018 revealed that the soundtrack would be available in North America on October 19 of that year. The release was managed by Laced Records in partnership with the game’s developer, Motion Twin, offering fans a physical collector’s item celebrating the game’s distinct musical identity.

Dead Cells earned praise for its challenging blend of roguelike and Metroidvania gameplay, and its soundtrack played a significant role in establishing the game’s tense, fast-paced atmosphere. Composed by Yoann Laulan, the score accompanies players through procedurally generated dungeons, from the initial moments in the prison to the final confrontation with the Hand of the King. This vinyl release provided a new way for players to experience Laulan’s work.

Deluxe Double Vinyl Presentation

The product was listed as the Dead Cells Original Soundtrack Deluxe Double Vinyl, emphasizing its premium quality. According to details from Laced Records, the release was pressed on two 180-gram vinyl records. This heavier weight is often preferred by audiophiles and collectors for its durability and potential for higher fidelity sound reproduction. The records also featured a striking color scheme, with one disc pressed in transparent orange and the other in transparent violet, reflecting the game’s vibrant art style.

To complete the package, the two discs were housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve. This type of packaging opens like a book, providing a large canvas for artwork from the game. The Amazon listing featured images of the album cover and the vinyl discs, giving prospective buyers a clear look at the final product before its release.

Soundtrack and Tracklist

The vinyl contains 15 tracks from Yoann Laulan’s original score. The song titles correspond directly to the biomes, characters, and key moments players encounter during a run in Dead Cells, making the album a musical journey through the game’s world. The tracklist was organized across the four sides of the two vinyl discs.
