## Summary

Indie developer ProbablyMonsters enlisted musicians from rock and metal acts HEALTH, Ice Nine Kills, and Periphery to help compose the score for Crimson Moon, its upcoming gothic action-adventure RPG. The artists worked alongside composer Chris Wilson and music manager Steve Pardo to create original music that features prominently during the game's boss battles, reflecting a wider trend of established heavy-music performers contributing to video game soundtracks.

Crimson Moon is due for release on 1 September on PlayStation 5, Windows PC and Xbox Series X. Pairing a rock- and metal-driven score with the game's gothic visual style is intended to appeal to audiences drawn to the crossover between music and gaming, using the involved artists' recognisable names and sound to boost the title's profile across platforms.
