Assassin’s Creed II Soundtrack On Sale This Month

Award-winning composer Jesper Kyd returns to score the soundtrack to Assassin’s Creed II, available later this month at fine digital music download websites everywhere.

With 20 years of experience in creating video game music and titles like Hitman, Kane & Lynch and Borderlands under his belt, Jesper Kyd has become one of the go-to guys as far as video game soundtracks are concerned. Kyd really seems to connect with the games that he composes music for, creating sounds that enhance the action rather than drown it out. That, and Ubisoft’s Patrice really seems to dig the guy’s work.

“Jesper Kyd’s score for Assassin’s Creed II brings players into the Italian Renaissance by providing a true sense of depth for the poignant moments, while also giving a jolt of adrenaline to the action-packed sequences. We are thrilled to have Jesper Kyd back with us in making Assassin’s Creed II an epic title on all levels.”

Ubisoft is so proud of the soundtrack that they’ll be releasing it on “popular music stores” for download on November 16. I am assuming that includes iTunes. Why buy it? Just ask Jesper.

“We created a unique musical identity for Assassin’s Creed II that reflects the character and story of Ezio and elevated the music, both in terms of creativity and live production, to a whole new level.”

Now if I could only stop mistaking the poor guy for Vesper Lynd from Casino Royale.
