iam8bit Celebrates 20 Years with Vinyl Reprints

iam8bit has begun their 20th anniversary celebrations by reprinting some of their rare vinyls. These include the Stray 2xLP, Cuphead 4xLP, Disco Elysium 3xLP, Hero of time 2xLP, Super Hexagon EP, and the Sunset Riders EP. Pre-orders are now open, and will close on Tuesday, May 20th 2025.

Collaborating with the developer BlueTwelve Studios and Annapurna Interactive, iam8bit proudly presents the Stray 2xLP, a stunning affair pressed on a 180g Audiophile Black vinyl. With futuristic premium packaging, it features a gatefold jacket housed in an elegant slipcase with holofoil spécialité- no wonder it sold out so fast! For $41.99, this vinyl boasts music by composer Yann Van Der Cruyssen, purrrfect album art by Fernando Correa and includes a Steam soundtrack digital download, so the enjoyment never ends.  

The Cuphead 4xLP, a loving collaboration with developer Studio MDHR, is a delicious delight that initially flew off the shelves. It’s finally back and lovingly pressed on Classic Black vinyl, featuring almost three hours of music and 1930s-era specific packaging. This beauty showcases album art by Jango Snow, music and lyrics by genius Kristofer Maddigan and includes a digital download code to the soundtrack. Available for $100.

The beloved Disco Elysium 3XLP is finally back for fans to experience, with breathtaking music by British Sea Power. This intimate and emotional soundscape has been mastered for vinyl by Townsend Mastering and is encased in an awe-inspiring trifold jacket. The album art is designed by Anton Vill and Alexander Rostov, and for $59.99, is not one to miss.

iam8bit & Materia Collective are ecstatic to bring back the Hero of Time 2xLP, a breath-taking one-hour arrangement album based on Koji Kondo’s gorgeous score to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Exclusively recorded on the 64-player Slovak National Symphony Orchestra, the vinyl breathes another life into the classic score, previously only available from its Nintendo 64 sound chip origins. The stunning album artwork was created by Ryan Brinkerhoff, full of subtle visual detail and interactive pieces, including a die-cut Ocarina window on the jacket’s front with shimmering gold foil everywhere. Available for $42.99.

GAME OVER, BEGIN, GAME OVER, BEGIN, GAME OVER, BEGIN - the fan-favorite Super Hexagon EP is back! Originally released a decade ago, the famous six-sided design and randomized color scheme is reissued in celebration of iam8bit’s 20th anniversary. The Super Hexagon EP reissue features all the original music by the incomparable Chipzel and the classic album design by Cory Schmitz. To celebrate the special occasion, there will be a free download code for Super Hexagon for Steam with each record, inscribed on a handy physical card. These vinyls will be pressed in 4 different colors, and just like last time, what you receive will be completely random. Available for $31.99.

Many years ago, iam8bit and Konami came together to release the Sunset Riders 10” Vinyl Soundtrack, and it was an instant cult classic. The Sunset Riders 10” vinyl is back and ready to ride, freshly pressed on an Orange Crush vinyl. All 24 tracks are back, with an updated album art from Drew Wise, presented on a fresh die-cut bullet hole-riddled jacket. Available for $24.99.

To mark the 20th anniversary, iam8bit will host a breadth of events throughout the year for the public to enjoy and celebrate together. Fans local to Los Angeles should mark their calendars for November, to enjoy a limited-time epic year-end art show to see firsthand some of the most iconic pieces from iam8bit’s history, plus hundreds of new artworks from frequent collaborators. Continue to keep an eye out for anniversary collaborations with some of iam8bit’s favorite studios and developers, with other capsule collections and brand new products launching throughout the year.
