Those familiar with CHVRCHES will feel right at home withDeath Stranding, which is the first of a number of original songs that have been written for the game’s soundtrack by notable artists including Khalid, Bring Me The Horizon, and MISSIO. Here’s the complete list of songs included in the soundtrack:
“Born in The Slumber” Flora Cash
“Sing to Me” MISSIO
Hideo Kojima later posted on his Twitter account that CHVRCHES' new song would be featured as the final song at the end of the game, presumably as the credits roll, which is similar to how many films often include promotional songs. However, while none of the other songs appeared in the recent48-minuteDeath Strandinggameplay reveal, the rest of the soundtrack can be expected to appear throughout the full game.
Players that preorder theDeath StrandingSpecial or Collectors Edition will receive a copy of the digital album,Death Stranding: Timefall(Original Music From the World ofDeath Stranding) as part of the package.
