About This Content

Crimson Desert’s first official soundtrack is the record of a long creative journey to give Pywel’s open world its own voice. Comprising 75 tracks, the album is built on a foundation laid by directors Hwiman Ryu and Inro Joo, and enriched by the creative flair of many composers.

"This album is the fruit of creative toil and perseverance. Through its rich sound, we have brought to life Pywel’s vast horizons and its most poignant moments. To the players wandering the wilds and crossing paths with destiny, may this music be your steadfast companion."

Disc 1: Themes – The Saga Begins: A Record of Melodies

This disc holds the narrative threads that weave together the fate of Pywel. Experience the grand beginning of this epic chronicle through melodies that capture the characters’ inner selves and the world’s roots.

Disc 2: Battles – The Fires of War: Forging an Unyielding Spirit

The heat of life-and-death combat turned into music. Led by Hwiman Ryu's hybrid sound and heavy percussion, these tracks will get your heart racing during the fray.

Disc 3: Exploration – The Untrodden Road: The Far Reaches of Pywel

A collection of ambient sounds and background music that fills the vast world. It captures the scenery of Pywel and the Abyss, ranging from tranquil to mystical. Experience the game’s atmosphere through soundscapes where the solitude of travel meets the wonder of discovery.

Disc 4: Bosses – Before Greatness: The Hour of Reckoning

These tracks complete the showdowns with the powerful beings ruling Pywel. Traditional orchestrations capture the menacing presence of giant foes, while hybrid sounds sharpen the duels with humanoid foes. The tension of battle conjured by the combat-capturing music brings both determination and awe, marking the very peak of combat.
