Summary

  • Four original boss-fight tracks for Crimson Moon feature HEALTH, Ice Nine Kills guitarist Ricky Armellino, Periphery’s Misha Mansoor and YouTuber Jared Dines.
  • ProbablyMonsters said the songs were created with composer Chris Wilson and music manager Steve Pardo to match the game’s gothic high-renaissance action RPG setting and heavy-metal tone.
  • Crimson Moon launches Sept. 1 on PC, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, with solo and co-op play built around replayable missions across three districts of Gildenarch.
  • Players control Nephilim hybrids and unlock the final boss only after defeating all 3 world bosses, making the soundtrack contributions central to the game’s biggest encounters.
