Soundtrack & Music
The retro-style soundtrack of Orbitals — the opening theme Accelerating Destiny, the music video, vinyl release and the classic anime sound of the game.
Introduction
The Soundtrack & Music hub covers the music of Orbitals — an original retro-style soundtrack that channels the spirit of classic anime. The centerpiece is the opening theme Accelerating Destiny, which welcomes players the moment they start the game. The hub tracks the theme song, the official music video, the vinyl announcement and the broader sound design direction, including the game's full voice acting across English, Japanese and six more languages. Because the soundtrack is a key part of Orbitals' retro anime identity, this section explains the musical influences and collects every official music announcement in one place. Whether you are a collector eyeing the vinyl or a player who simply wants to know the theme before launch, this hub gives you the complete picture of the game's audio side.

Music & Audio Details
Accelerating Destiny
The opening theme that welcomes you the moment you start playing, setting the retro anime tone for the whole adventure and capturing the spirit of Maki and Omura's journey beyond the Storm Wall.
Music Video
The official main theme music video released by Shapefarm, pairing the song with the game's anime visuals and giving fans a taste of the Studio Massket cutscene style before the game launches.
Vinyl Release
The Orbitals soundtrack announced for vinyl release, giving collectors a physical edition of the retro anime score to own alongside the game and its other merchandise and announcements. It is a great way to support the developers and enjoy the score away from the screen.
Full Voice Acting
Full voice acting in English, Japanese and six more languages, rounding out the game's audio identity and supporting the cinematic cutscenes from Studio Massket throughout the entire adventure. This makes the cutscenes feel alive in every region where the game ships.
Core Mechanics
The soundtrack direction is rooted in nostalgia. The game's music is described as an original retro-style soundtrack that channels the magic of the classic anime era — fitting for a game whose world draws from Cowboy Bebop, Dragon Ball and Neon Genesis Evangelion. The opening theme Accelerating Destiny is positioned as the emotional gateway into the adventure, playing at the moment the game begins. Official announcements from Shapefarm cover the music video premiere and the vinyl release, confirming that the soundtrack is being treated as a first-class part of the game's identity, not an afterthought. The audio experience is rounded out by full voice acting in English, Japanese and six more languages, with anime cutscenes from Studio Massket tying the sound and visuals together.
Advantages
Music matters more for Orbitals than for most games because it is central to the retro anime experience. The soundtrack sets the tone before a single puzzle is solved, and fans of classic anime will immediately recognize the genre references in the sound design. The hub keeps every official music announcement in one place, so fans can track the theme song, the video and the vinyl without missing updates. For players deciding whether to support the game further, the vinyl release is also a notable collectible announcement. Understanding the soundtrack also deepens appreciation of the game's identity — the retro anime style is not just visual, it is audio, and the theme song captures the spirit of the adventure in three minutes.
Challenges
Before release, the full track list has not been published, so the hub covers the confirmed opening theme, the music video and the vinyl announcement rather than a complete OST listing. Composer details are not yet officially confirmed, and the exact release timing for the vinyl has not been announced. After launch, the full soundtrack track list and streaming links will be added as they become available. Because the soundtrack is described in broad retro anime terms rather than specific track details, players looking for an exhaustive musical breakdown will need to wait until Shapefarm publishes the complete album information and any additional music announcements that follow the September 3, 2026 release.

Quick Tips
Listen to the main theme music video before launch to get a feel for the retro anime sound — it captures the mood of the game in a few minutes and is the fastest way to judge whether the style clicks with you before you pre-order the full experience on Nintendo Switch 2.
If you are a collector, keep an eye on the vinyl announcement for pre-order timing — physical editions of game soundtracks often sell out quickly once listings go live, so follow the News section for updates and act fast when the official store page opens. Waiting too long can mean missing the first pressing entirely.
The soundtrack pairs with the cutscenes from Studio Massket — both are central to the game's identity, so watching the trailers with sound on gives you the complete audiovisual experience of the retro anime world before the game even launches this September. The full sensory experience makes the retro anime world unforgettable.
