Wish they brought more of this themed music back into the game. Gave the games a real mysterious sci-fi tone underneath the historical side of things.

This is absolutely amazing.
Jesper Kyd and Lorne Balfe did an amazing job bringing the whole "Ancient Greatness / Beyond Human Race" mystic feeling to the series.

Through AC2, Brotherhood & AC3. This track is amazingly hypnotic. <3

The far reaching echoes, and the mechanical humming in the background. This is the music of being in a simulation. Walking in an endless white grid of deformed buildings and faceless crowds. Nobody responds to you, nowhere to go.
The looming feel of despair as you drift in a sea of ancestral memories, long forgotten. Welcome to the Animus.

Jesper Kyd knocked it out of the PARK with all the soundtracks to the first 4 AC games. They really need to bring him back for the new ones. Just fit the tone of the games so perfectly.

@CrawfordPrime

Assassin's Creed to me has always felt like a hybrid of Science Fiction and Fantasy, with the advanced technological potential of the Animus and history paired with the mysterious, almost magical First Civilization, the Isu, whom undoubtedly have advanced technology but it just seems so beyond the limits of human understanding it crosses the line of science into magic being the seemingly only rational answer left. I always liked the Isu in these games, and I am glad that we are seeing more of them in the recent games, getting a real glimpse at their power makes human achievement look like crap. Assassin's Creed to me is a hybrid of these things and it just works so wonderfully well and I can understand through Assassin's Creed why so many people believe in advanced ancient civilizations perhaps as sophisticated at the Isu.

@az591000

Best music of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood... those atmosphers miss in news AC.... After Desmond's death nothing has been the same 😢

@paulmayson3129

4y↑1

True. Assassin's Creed 4 was a great game but it had a poor Present Day plot. I always considered it as a supposed link between the old character and the new one in the next game (that became AC Unity), leaving Desmond's Saga and introducing the new one. However as AC Unity did NOT live up to it's expectations and especially concerning the plot of the Modern Day, AC 4 now serves only as a very long epilogue of Desmond's Saga.

This track sounds very Blade Runner-y. I know he's mostly just done game soundtracks but honestly, if Vangelis can't return for the Blade Runner sequel, I think Jesper Kyd would be a great replacement.

@nyuszicsib

I thought exactly the same. :D

@Garry_Combine

I like Hans but Jesper is the better fit, he should've done the score for 2049. If not Jesper then Kevin Kiner, his score for The Clone Wars season 7 alone is proof, specificaly 'Burying the Dead'.

God why, why can’t we live in a world where we could mean something bigger? Also, here’s some thoughts: remember the Atlantis and greece we got In tomb raider, what if we found the hybrids in assassins creed, and in the next game, they would do the recap showing that horrific location, and exploring the underworld of Greece “not the actual underworld, like underneath the city.”. Just please, any god or all-knowing entity, can you change the course of time, and make this game series what it’s true potential could have been. Cause this music just gives me a feeling that a long future of insane cliffhangers are to come.

I just thought it would be cool to release that idea of what, could have been.
