Even if you’re not yet playing Hades 2 via Early Access, you can get in on the experience by way of your earholes. Supergiant Games has uploaded the entire soundtrack to YouTube so you can get a listen.
I’ve been playing Hades 2 for 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 2 is available now on PC via Early Access. The soundtrack can now be streamed from YouTube.
