Rift of the NecroDancer News

We are thrilled to announce all of the amazing and talented composers involved in the Rift of the NecroDancer Soundtrack, and release a 5 song EP!

[h3]Danny Baranowsky[/h3]

First, it wouldn’t be a NecroDancer game without a banging soundtrack from Danny Baranowsky. If you liked Danny B before, this sound track will really make your head roll. Have a listen below Disco Disaster, Danny's fresh take on the classic Crypt of the NecroDancer song, Disco Descent.

[h3]Jules Conroy (FamilyJules)[/h3]

Second, Jules Conroy (aka FamilyJules) has been a part of NecroDancer from the beginning. It wouldn't feel the same without him. You'll get some of his signature metalmania in the soundtrack, but get ready to hear a different side of our favorite funky-haired shredder.

[h2]And now, please welcome four new composers to the NecroDancer family![/h2]

[h3]Josie Brechner[/h3]

Josie Brechner is a prolific composer with a history of inventive and novel compositions for many indie games, brings that inventiveness to NecroDancer with a vast range of genres, and may have even invented some new ones?!

[h3]Sam Webster and Nick Nausbaum[/h3]

Sam Webster's work on Grindstone was one of the best soundtracks of the year when it came out, and we were thrilled when we reached out and Sam agreed to write some tracks for Rift. Sam brought Nick Nausbaum in to assist, and together they've delivered a hefty pack of delicious grooves that somehow feel simultaneously frenetic and chill.

[h3]Alex Moukala[/h3]

And finally, we’ve been fans of Alex Moukala for a long time from his kickass funky bass covers, and his energy and musical feel felt like a natural fit for NecroDancer. Get ready to be blown away by Alex’s ferociously melodic, intricate, and intense tracks.

Hey folks! We have 2 pieces of big news to share about Rift of the NecroDancer today:

1. Rift is now being published by our good friends at Klei
   
2. Rift of the Necrodancer is now targeting a 2024 release
   

Below are some answers to a couple questions!

[h3]Q: Why 2024?[/h3]
A: The game is actually in really good shape right now, but we realized that we want to take some extra time to make it really SING.

We’ll also be able to double down on what makes the game great by adding more Rhythm Rifts for launch!

[h3]Q: Why Klei?[/h3]
A: Klei originally published Crypt of the NecroDancer, and we trust them with our lives. For real. Like 10/10 ❤️ Their support is giving us that extra time we need to get Rift to the finish line.


[h3]Q: So when is your new release date?[/h3]
A: We don’t have an exact date yet, but we’re looking at the first half of 2024. We’re hoping to have a release date for y’all after the holidays. 🙂


We know you’re highly anticipating this game. We’ll be sharing more Rift content leading up to launch, including more news about the INSANELY talented musicians involved! You can also expect a free demo in a future Steam Next Fest, and a new demo at PAX West 2023.

All in all, thank you for all your support and your continued hype for Rift of the NecroDancer, and another big thank you to Klei for allowing us to take the time we need to make this game a real stunner. We appreciate you all endlessly.

Don't forget to wishlist and/or follow Rift of the NecroDancer if you haven't already to keep up with the latest updates!
