Known as "Makaimura" in Japan, Capcom's Ghosts 'n Goblins franchise dates back to the 1985 arcade cabinet, featuring music composed by Ayako Mori. The protagonist, a knight named Arthur, is tasked with rescuing a kidnapped princess from the demon king Astaroth.

The latest installment in the franchise is Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection, currently available for Nintendo Switch. The 2D platformer directed by Tokuro Fujiwara features music and sound design by Masato Kouda, Kento Hasegawa and Ryuta Hida, contributing via the Design Wave studio in Japan.

The Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection 19-track digital soundtrack is available for streaming on Spotify and Apple Music. Ports for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows via Steam are scheduled for release on June 1.


From the product page:

A long time ago... In a far off land our tale begins, its beauty matched by none. The knight, Arthur, and the princess there, bathed in midday sun. ...but suddenly something's amiss, the town is up in flames, a cloud of darkness does emerge, the palace it does claim. The shadow then extends its reach, to the Umbral Tree divine. Its color fades, its vigor drained by powers most malign. And with this chaos wrought, the Demon Lord plays his vile hand. While Arthur's back is turned, the princess he kidnaps as planned. In haste does Arthur don his armor, to save his maiden fair. To the Demon Realm he does depart, so demons best beware.
