Santa Monica Studio is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the ‘God of War’ game series with a limited edition boxed vinyl LP release. The 13-disc vinyl set includes 150 remastered tracks spanning from the 2005 original God of War to 2023’s God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla.
Global pre-orders for the limited edition boxed sets are now available. It features a dual rigid board outer slipcase with leather effect and gold foiling. Each sub-set within the box features widespined outer sleeves, and each disc comes in a printed inner sleeve with artwork from Santa Monica Studio’s extensive archives of concept art for the series.
Gamers interesting in owning a collectible featuring their favorite tracks from their favorite games may help boost declining vinyl sales numbers. Limited edition vinyl releases for popular games seem to do well among collectible enthusiasts—whether they listen to the vinyls or not. This set features a unique color scheme of red and white and blue and white to differentiate between the Greek ‘God of War‘ saga and the Norse ‘God of War‘ saga.
What music is included in the God of War boxed vinyl set?
God of War (2005)

God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla
The boxed set also contains selections from other handheld God of War games including God of War: Ascension, God of War: Chains of Olympus, and God of War: Ghost of Sparta.
The music of God of War harnesses the might of an orchestra, the humanity and divinity of a choir, and thunderous percussion to amazing effect. A pantheon of composers have worked on the series including Gerard K. Marino, Mike Reagan, Ron Fish, Cris Velasco, Winifred Phillips, Winnie Waldron, Tyler Bates, and Bear McCreary. This also marks the first time the soundtrack for God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla has been pressed on vinyl.
The limited edition special color striped vinyls feature red on white for the Greek saga and blue on white for the Norse saga. The set is being released through Laced Records, which is the world’s leading video game soundtrack record label with over 250 releases across vinyl, CD, and digital.
