Exclusive: Listen To A Full Track From Stray Gods: The Role-Playing Musical Featuring Laura Bailey And Ashley Johnson

Game Informer can exclusively reveal a full track from Summerfall Studios’ upcoming Stray Gods: The Role-Playing Musical called “Adrift.”

This track features the voice of Laura Bailey (Abby in The Last of Us Part II, Mary Jane in Marvel’s Spider-Man 2), who plays protagonist Grace, a college dropout in the game’s modern fantasy world granted the power of a Muse. Grace uses this power “to find out the truth behind her predecessor’s death before time runs out.” You might also recognize Ashley Johnson (Ellie in The Last of Us) in the song. She voices Calliope, who joins Bailey’s Grace in “Adrift.” 

Grammy-nominated composer Austin Wintory (Journey, The Pathless, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate) says this recording is actually a live one. He tells us, “I made a studio recording of the El Rey Theater live version of the main song, ‘Adrift.’” The music can be heard by clicking on the link below or using the audio player. 

In Stray Gods: The Role-Playing Musical, it will be up to players to decide who Grace’s allies are, who she can trust, and who she can betray in the hand-illustrated narrative adventure. Regardless of your decisions, it promises to treat players to a fully orchestrated score performed by an all-star cast, meant to make you feel “as though you’re right there on the stage.” On top of that, there are thousands of potential variants based on your choices, meaning your soundtrack could be wildly different from anyone else’s. 

Wintory is joined by Tripod, Montaigne and other musicians in the orchestration of this score. Bailey and Johnson will be joined by Troy Baker, a fellow The Last of Us actor, as well as other performers including Rahul Kohli, Janina Gauvinkar and Felicia day. 

Stray Gods The Role-Playing Musical will hit PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Switch on August 10th, 2023.
