I already told you about *Takeover 2* [back in August](https://nowplaying.cool/takeover-2-original-steam-demo-soundtrack/), when a new demo for this gorgeous, retro-infused beat 'em up landed on Steam. Today, developer Pelikan13 is gearing up for release: *Takeover 2* officially drops on November 10, and its pulse-pounding synthwave soundtrack has already hit most major streaming services. Head over to your favorite platform via the player above.

Even if I was already sold on the EP Francisco Cerda dropped over the summer, I can now confidently say that the Chilean composer kept the best bits under wraps. Case in point: the two tracks featuring mind-blowing solos by Chris Christodoulou, best known for his work on *Risk of Rain* and its sequel. Additional credits include fellow Chilean guitarist Fernando Kähs on a couple of 80s-pilled synth rock bangers.

Cerda didn't fly solo on this project, either. Gonzalo Varela, the Uruguayan composer behind *Fight'N Rage* and more recently *Neon Inferno*, also lent a hand to shape *Takeover 2*'s vibe. Clocking in at eight tracks, this second volume injects even more variety into the mix. All in all, it is one hell of a way to get your week started.
