For those who have not completed games in the 异度神剑 series, this page contains spoilers regarding the plot. Discretion is advised.

The 异度神剑 2 Original Soundtrack (Japanese: ゼノブレイド２オリジナル・サウンドトラック, Zenobureido 2 orijinaru saundotorakku) is the album containing the musical tracks for 异度神剑 2. The music tracks of the game were composed by Yasunori Mitsuda, ACE, Kenji Hiramatsu, and Manami Kiyota. According to Yasunori Mitsuda, the soundtrack contains a total of 120 pieces. It is produced by Mitsuda's Procyon Studio and published by his own label Sleigh Bells.

Four samples of BGM were published on the game's official Japanese and European sites. The 异度神剑 2: Sound Selection album was released with the game in December 2017, while the full soundtrack album was released on may 23, 2018.

Among the composers for the soundtrack includes the duo ACE, whose members are Tomori Kudo and CHiCO. Performers on the soundtrack include the Irish choral ensemble Anúna, founded by Michael McGlynn; Jennifer Bird, vocalist for the English duo Tomorrow Bird; and the Bratislava Symphony Choir. Yasunori Mitsuda has frequently shared news on the progress of the soundtrack recording on his Twitter account.

As announced in Yasunori Mitsuda's Production Note, three versions of the soundtrack were released in Japan. The Standard Edition includes 105 main tracks over 5 discs. The Deluxe Edition album also includes 16 jingles, along with 5 piano arrangements by Ivan Linn. In addition, consumers who purchase the Deluxe Edition also receive a special case, booklet, and copy of the piano score for "Where We Used to Be". A special version called the USB Deluxe Edition contains the full album on a USB stick designed to resemble a Core Crystal and is limited to 2,000 copies.

Procyon Studio announced on March 11 that the Digital Standard Edition would be released worldwide: "OST will be available on digital music distribution globally from 23 may 2018! 105 tracks, 44.1kHz / 16bit, Hi-Res Audio: 96kHz / 24bit. This OST will be digitally distributed in countries that have sales of the game itself." It is available via iTunes (UK, Europe, Australia, USA, and canada).
