Laced Records opens preorders for The Outer Worlds 2 Vinyl Soundtrack
Preorders have opened at Laced Records for The Outer Worlds 2 Vinyl Soundtrack. The triple LP features 44 music tracks and Art Nouveau-inspired artwork.

Horizon Forbidden West co-composer Oleksa Lozowchuk served as principal composer and music director, in collaboration with co-composers Antonio Gradanti, Jim Bonney, with featured collaborators Interleave and Juliette Jones.

The music director describes the game's soundtrack as "a space opera blending a symphonic/modern score, Broadway spectacle, and eclectic faction radio stations, all with 'serious craziness' thanks to Obsidian's inspiring canvas."

The Original Soundtrack is streaming on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music Unlimited. A behind-the-scenes montage can be viewed on YouTube.


"Fibonacci," "Give Me Your Hand" and "Boarst Rockets" have been treated to animated music videos, streaming on the Obsidian Entertainment YouTube channel. "It's Auntie's Choice," is inspired by the original game's Spacer's Choice jingle by Justin E. Bell, featuring vocals by Jennifer Blackwell and Bank of Harmony.

The setting of The Outer Worlds 2 is the affluent Arcadia star system—home of skip drive technology—engulfed in a factional war. The authoritarian Protectorate of Arcadia vies for control, challenged both by a hyper-capitalist megacorporate invasion and the rebellion of their religious order. As an agent of the Earth Directorate, the player's choices will shape the fate of the entire galaxy.

Developed by Obsidian Entertainment, the action role-playing game is available for Windows, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, published by Xbox Game Studios.


From the Laced Records product page:
Volume 001: Truth, Justice, & Dispute Resolution introduces the sound of arrival of the Earth Directorate. Sweeping orchestral themes and restrained electronic textures underscore exploration, investigation, and the reassuring sense that Arcadia’s instability is both anticipated and accounted for.

Volume 002: Wireless Free Arcadia represents Auntie’s Choice at peak efficiency. Bright melodies, big band swing, and relentlessly cheerful compositions promote comfort, productivity, and sustained consumer confidence. Freedom is included. Continued satisfaction indicates proper use.

Volume 003: Mental Enlightenment & Refreshment pairs the Protectorate and the Order of the Ascendant. The Protectorate asserts control through ceremonial authority, rigid rhythms, and formal arrangements devoted to discipline, doctrine, and public order. The Order of the Ascendant follows with colder, more abstract compositions focused on empirical certainty, controlled experimentation, and outcomes unburdened by sentiment.
