Skullgirls Original Soundtrack

The Skullgirls Original Soundtrack is a digital soundtrack album for Skullgirls and, depending on the edition, Skullgirls Encore and 2nd Encore.

The standard and PLUS edition of the soundtrack included early renditions of the tracks "The Lives We Left Behind", which featured slightly different no-echoed vocals, and "Learning One's Craft". The Steam edition is currently the only release that it's updated and includes the final rendition of "The Lives We Left Behind", but "Learning One's Craft" wasn't updated. This edition also includes an alternate rendition of "Dirge of the Divine Trinity", which is missing an instrument during the outro.

The music tracks of the game not included in the album are "Clueless Trip" and the "(cutscene)" renditions of "Moonlit Melee", "The Seat of Power" and "The Fish Man's Dance".

Release
A review of the Square Enix Music website first listed the soundtrack release date as April 24, 2012. However, the soundtrack was released earlier on iTunes and Amazon on April 21, 2012.

An updatable edition of the soundtrack was offered to the people who donated at least $10 to the Keep Skullgirls Growing Indiegogo campaign. The updates that this edition received were the following:


 * October 1, 2013: Three music tracks were added: "Clear Breeze", "Destiny In Her Hands", and "Where Money Flows Like Water".
 * June 3, 2014: Three music tracks were added: "Unfinished Business", "Royal Canopy Waltz" and "The Dreams We Left Behind".
 * October 29, 2014: Two music tracks were added: "An Oasis In Time" and "Chamber Below".
 * August 13, 2015: Final update. Six music tracks were added: "An Oasis of Blood", "The Crowd Goes Wild", "Schmeebop", "Going Nowhere Fast", "The Crowd Goes Home", and an instrumental version of "In a Moment's Time".

On October 30, 2014, it was announced on the official Skullheart forum the release of a disc 2 append that would be available to non-backers of the Indiegogo campaign, which release would "occur once Skullgirls Encore's soundtrack is finalized after Robo-Fortune's release". On September 14, 2015, the official Skullgirls Twitter account announced that the fully-updated soundtrack was available for purchase on the game official website. This edition of the soundtrack was titled as Skullgirls Original Soundtrack PLUS. Plans to update the soundtrack with a "second edition/disc 2" on iTunes and Amazon were confirmed on the official Skullheart forum the same day. However, the Skullgirls Original Soundtrack was replaced on Apple Music and Amazon with another soundtrack album release titled as Skullgirls: The Complete Soundtrack on November 16, 2017 and October 27, 2017, respectively.

On February 23, 2021, a Steam and PlayStation 4 release of the soundtrack was announced as part of the content included in the Skullgirls 2nd Encore Season 1 Pass. Both the Season 1 Pass and the soundtrack were made available to purchase separately on March 4, 2021.
