WolfQuest's soundtrack is composed by Tim Buzza and Ben Woolman, both of whom are responsible for the music presented in-game over its many years of development including Legacy versions, its successor WolfQuest: Classic, and the latest and greatest entry, WolfQuest: Anniversary Edition. This page features clips of music from the game for specific 'events' of the game. The official about page for the WolfQuest soundtrack can be found here.
While the legacy soundtrack was distributed freely, it is no longer available following the release of the Music Extras pack which replaced its page when the wolfquest.org website was redesigned and modernised. There appear to be no plans to make the complete Music Extras pack available for free.
This article serves as a compilation of the soundtrack! Below are clips of the soundtracks extracted from the main audio files of the original free download. These play during scripted events that occur throughout the game. Enjoy~
As always, if there's a mistake, feel free to edit!
Notes
With respect to eduweb and the composers of each track, we, the WolfQuest Wiki Fandom, do not provide full samples for any tracks sold as part of the music extras pack. This decision means contributors must not upload full tracks originating from the official soundtrack nor extracted game files including any parts of it obtained elsewhere. If you like the soundtrack, please consider buying it to support the project, the development team, and the composers.
Only short preview samples with varying playback lengths between 15-30 seconds are available from paid albums. Free (or formerly free) albums include their full unedited tracks. If you like the game's soundtrack, consider buying it!
Thank you for understanding. ~Neamara Contact | Contributions • 16:36, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

Remaking the game provided the team with the perfect opportunity to also rework the soundtrack!
While some of the old tracks are still present in the game, they are accommodated by all-new, remade, and mixed tracks. Some tracks weren't reused in-game but do still appear in the official soundtrack. The soundtrack of Lost River (Classic) is relatively unchanged. Some classic and legacy tracks have been renamed in this release of the album, which is currently divided into five sets with more to come in the form of Tower Fall and future DLC releases.

Trivia
- Some soundtrack clips are available via eduweb's SoundCloud profile page.
- The link https://wolfquest.org/music redirects to the itch.io music extras page.
- Up until the website redesign, the original soundtrack (Amethyst and Slough) was hosted at wolfquest.org/soundtrack.php. Today, this is a 404 (not found) page.
- The older versions can still be found on wolfquest.org/podcasts directory or otherwise acquired through the Web Archive's snapshots: 2008, 2010.
- The cover or album art used for the Anniversary Edition album uses a modified screenshot that was shared by Rikkuzilla. Message permalink: WolfQuest: the official Facebook group, posted 26-Jul-2019.
- Classic and Legacy music don't have any album art.
- Dave stated in a devblog that Ben Woolman assisted with composing tracks as early as Slough Creek Classic.[3]
- The original OST was compiled on the WolfQuest Wiki YouTube channel. Tune in to the playlist.
- Most WolfQuest tracks are written in 4/4 time signature. The exceptions are classic Lost River's "Chase", Amethyst Mountain's "Herd Ahead" and "Flight of the Wapiti". These three pieces are written in 6/8 time signature.
- The soundtrack for each distinct map in the game are composed in a manner to feature a particular musical key. Lost River's soundtrack features the key of E, Amethyst Mountain's soundtrack features the key of A, and Slough Creek features the key of D.
- Since most of the soundtrack features guitar as the primary instrument, using the keys of E, A, and D are quite idiomatic for guitar as many chords within these keys will include open strings.
- The video Tim Buzza and the Music of WolfQuest used to be exclusive to the Music Extras pack. As of March 11th 2022, this is no longer the case as eduweb have chosen to make it freely available independent of the paid soundtrack bundle on the WolfQuest YouTube channel. Watch it here. Those who bought it will still receive the video file.
