Beyond Games

09-05-2020 • 19 mins

In this "Beyond Games" mini-series, the extraordinary composers who created the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla soundtrack – Jesper Kyd, Sarah Schachner, and Einar Selvik –break down five of their favorite tracks from the game. They reveal their secrets and inspirations, and the collaborative spirit that allowed them to write and record nearly six hours of music for the game using both ancient and modern instruments.

BAFTA award-winning composer Jesper Kyd returns to the Assassin’s Creed series as one of the three composers on Assassin’s Creed Valhalla. Here, Jesper tells us how he revisited series’ most iconic track, Ezio’s Family, written over a decade ago for Assassin’s Creed 2, to create a new, Viking version. For Jesper, this track is all about ascending and transcending into the world of the gods, thanks to richly layered voices, instrumentation, and electronics. Listen to the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Original Game Soundtrack wherever you get your music.


An original Ubisoft series.
