Austin Wintory, the composer of the critically acclaimed Journey and The Banner Saga, is writing the score for Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, Ubisoft has announced.
The Grammy-nominated writer says he was “immediately excited by the prospect” of penning the soundtrack, and has written over three hours of music for the open world game.
Wintory calls himself a “long-time player of the franchise,” and says his composition will contain a running theme, titled Bloodlines, that explores the relationship between the central characters, and twins, Jacob and Evie. It’s unclear whether this reveals a connection between Syndicate and the 2009 PSP exclusive Assassins Creed: Bloodlines.
In an interview on the Ubi Blog, Wintory also talks about the industry as a whole. “Culturally we’re seeing a lot of growth, and therefore also the attendant growth pains. The industry is struggling with identity right now, and inclusiveness, but I am hopeful that our tent is widening, and our creativity deepening. And I’m happy to say that I don’t believe that hope is based on purely wishful thinking either. I see inspiring people working in every corner, from Ubisoft to the smallest indies.”
