In anticipation of the release of the remaster of cult classic game Shadow of the Colossus, iam8bit has opened up pre-orders for a 2xLP vinyl release of the original game’s soundtrack, composed by Kow Otani.
The view from atop a colossus is nothing short of majestic. A visual feast, sure – but its composer Kow Otani’s score that fully embodies the emotion felt whilst ascending each epic creature. Sweeping, transcendent and awe-inspiring, the music of Shadow of the Colossus makes it clear that our dear hero, Wander, isn’t slaying these mega-beasts as though they are villains, but instead is unlocking ancient magic for the greater good of our world. At long last, the legendary soundtrack to one of the most adored games in PlayStation history – enhanced with additional orchestral accompaniment AND remastered – is available on vinyl for the FIRST. TIME. EVER!
The vinyl is slated for release in Q2 of 2018, no doubt soon before or after the release of the remastered game itself, which currently has no date. You can currently pre-order the 2xLP vinyl release of the Shadow of the Colossus Original Soundtrack for $40.00 on the iam8bit website.
