Okay, so vinyl soundtracks are having a moment right now, and Wizardry's jumping on that train. The remake of Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord just opened pre-orders for its soundtrack on wax, and honestly? It's about time this classic got the collector treatment.
Here's what's got me interested - they're not just slapping the digital soundtrack onto vinyl and calling it a day. We're getting two exclusive tracks that won't show up anywhere else. That's the kind of thing that makes my collector brain light up. The original Wizardry basically invented the dungeon crawler genre back in 1981, so seeing it get this premium treatment in 2026 feels right.
Now I don't have details on pricing yet, which is kinda annoying when you're trying to budget for this stuff. But if you're into game soundtracks on vinyl, you know the drill - these limited releases tend to sell out fast. Remember what happened with the Elden Ring vinyl? Yeah, exactly.
The remake itself has been doing pretty well on Steam since it dropped. Makes sense that they'd capitalize on that momentum with some physical merch. And let's be real, that dungeon-crawling soundtrack probably sounds amazing through a good analog setup. Those atmospheric tracks hitting different when you're not listening through compressed digital files.
If you're thinking about grabbing this, I'd move quick. Gaming vinyl has gotten super popular over the last couple years, and Wizardry's got that nostalgic pull working for it.
