The 20-track album is available to stream now while a vinyl edition will be released later this year.
“Familiar melodies like Ezio’s Family have been reimagined as softer, more atmospheric tracks – ideal for unwinding, studying, or finding focus. Whether you’re a longtime fan or discovering these themes for the first time, it’s a collection worth adding to your shelf,” reads the listing. You can pre-order the vinyl here.
Speaking to NME about the score, The Flight’s Joe Henson said: “At its heart, Assassin’s Creed is a science fiction franchise and we always wanted to make a modern sounding score. When we did Odyssey, we intentionally made the music sound older but for this one, we wanted to combine traditional Japanese instruments with something more contemporary,” so they looked at Western films and turned to acts like Wu-Tang Clan for inspiration.
Meanwhile the Assassin’s Creed X account has gone viral after a spicy reply to criticism from Elon Musk.
In other news, Grand Theft Auto 6 fans are convinced the long-awaited game will feature an appearance from Megan Thee Stallion.
