Revision 1

The Crimson Desert Original Soundtrack is the official release of the in-game music composed by Pearl Abyss's audio team for Crimson Desert. The Developer Roadmap: April to June 2026 announced that Volume 1 of the soundtrack will be released for free on Steam and on major music streaming platforms during the April-June 2026 window. The release was announced alongside the OST work that started shipping with Patch 1.03.00, which added 3 new base combat tracks and 1 new loading screen track in-game.

Release Plan

In-Game Music Updates Tied to the OST

Patch 1.03.00 added three new base combat music tracks plus one new loading screen track to in-game audio rotation. The new tracks rotate alongside the launch lineup; players in long combat sessions or repeated loading screens see a noticeable variety boost compared to the launch month.

Audio Team Context

The soundtrack is produced by Pearl Abyss's internal audio department, led by Audio Director and Lead Composer Hwiman Ryu. The studio has a long track record of recording with European orchestras for its other releases, and similar production approaches inform the Crimson Desert score. For the full team and production-facility breakdown see Soundtrack and Music.
