Ubisoft has sent us details of the Jesper Kyd soundtrack to Assassin's Creed 2. The publisher says that the soundtrack to Assassin's Creed 2 by Jesper Kyd will be available for digital download from November 16th.
Award-winning composer Jesper Kyd has created an epic soundtrack for Assassin's Creed II, the sequel to the fastest-selling new IP in video game history. Following his atmospheric score for the original Assassin's Creed, Kyd takes the music in an adventurous new direction and crafts an immensely diverse, melodic and progressive musical pallete featuring acoustic and symphonic orchestrations with emotional depth and diversity. The original score was recorded with A-List musicians and a Hollywood orchestra and choir at the world-renowned Capitol Studios.
Jesper Kyd: 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.
The game itself is out on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on November 17th.
