Ubisoft and Laced Records have renewed their adherence to the brotherhood to bring the
music of Assassin’s Creed Shadows to vinyl.
Assassin’s Creed Shadows transports players to the rich setting of feudal Japan, anchored
by a soundtrack that uses traditional instruments as well as playful modern production
techniques, nodding both to the time period and the series’ sci-fi, time-travelling themes.
Composer duo The Flight (Joe Henson and Alexis Smith) return to the Assassin’s Creed
series to provide the overarching dark, modern original score for the game. The duo
collaborated with master Japanese players to craft subtle, deeply evocative music that shifts and evolves from expansive vistas to nail-biting suspense and explosive action.
Players experience the story through two characters: the shinobi assassin Naoe and
samurai Yasuke. To give each character’s story a distinct sonic signature, Ubisoft
collaborated with some extraordinary artists.
Japanese-Canadian band TEKE::TEKE give stealthy Naoe her impactful ‘needle drop’
moments, and also provide a unique interpretation of Jesper Kyd’s iconic series theme
“Ezio’s Family”. Their surf and psych rock influences are reminiscent of iconic Tarantino
soundtracks.
Production team Thunderdrum (Alex Cameron Ward, Félix Rebaud-Sauer & Hugo Brijs) collaborated with British-Tanzanian vocalist Tiggs Da Author to bring samurai Yasuke’s story to life, melding Morricone guitars, East African rhythms and Japanese flutes with lyrics in Swahili.
