Square Enix has officially released the Drakengard 3 soundtrack on Steam, making the music from the cult action RPG available digitally on the platform as of December 18, 2025. The release adds another entry to Square Enix’s growing catalog of game soundtracks on Steam and continues its renewed activity around the Drakengard franchise.
According to the Steam store page, the soundtrack features music produced by MONACA, the acclaimed team composed of Keiichi Okabe, Keigo Hoashi, Kakeru Ishihama, and Kuniyuki Takahashi. The group is widely recognized for its work on NieR Gestalt and NieR Replicant. Additional contributions come from Nobuyoshi Sano and Akitaka Toyama. Square Enix notes that the tracklist for the Steam release differs from the original CD editions, an important detail for longtime collectors.
The soundtrack includes 19 tracks spanning battle themes, atmospheric compositions, and character-driven pieces associated with the Intoners. Track titles include A Better End, Voidscape, Thundervalor Battleground, Descendeus, Iniquitus, and Censorial Sonata, among others. The total storage requirement for the release is listed at 267 MB, with support for both Windows and macOS. Early user reception on Steam shows 2 user reviews at launch.
This is not the first Drakengard soundtrack to arrive on Steam. Earlier, Square Enix released the original Drakengard soundtrack on September 10, 2025. That release compiled tracks from DRAG ON DRAGOON Original Soundtrack Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 and currently holds a Very Positive user rating based on 127 reviews. The staggered releases suggest a deliberate effort to reintroduce the series’ music to modern storefronts, even if the games themselves remain unavailable digitally.
The arrival of the Drakengard 3 soundtrack follows earlier speculation surrounding the franchise. Industry insider AestheticGamer, also known as Dusk Golem, previously suggested that the surprise release of Drakengard music could be tied to an upcoming announcement. While no such reveal materialized, the Steam release at least confirms Square Enix’s continued acknowledgment of the series, which, frankly, has not always felt guaranteed.
Originally released in 2003, Drakengard became known for its dark narrative tone and unsettling musical direction. Drakengard 3, a prequel entry, continued that tradition on PlayStation 3. While the franchise remains dormant in terms of new game announcements, the addition of its soundtracks to Steam keeps its legacy accessible. For fans, it may not be the announcement they hoped for, but it is a reminder that the series has not been forgotten entirely.
