Original score
Composer duo The Flight (Joe Henson and Alexis Smith) return to the Assassin’s Creed series to deliver a dark, modern score, fusing traditional Japanese instrumentation with orchestral and electronic elements. The resulting blend of contemporary production techniques and traditional music reflects the series’ fusion of science fiction and popular history. The dual protagonists of Assassin’s Creed Shadows are represented with different instruments and musical approaches: Naoe by her in-game instrument of choice, the clay flute (tsuchibue) and disembodied whispering during stealth moments; and Yasuke with the sharper sounds of the stringed Shamisen and rhythmic intensity.
The Flight turned to master players for the performances of Japanese instruments, including Keiko Kitamura (Koto) and Hibiki Ichikawa (Shamisen). Other performers include vocalist Akari Mochizuki; flautists Kristin Naigus, Oriol Singh and Andy Findon; and The Flight’s musical collaborator on Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Michael Georgiades.
‘Kage No Iro’
The Montreal-based band TEKE::TEKE were commissioned to give Assassins’s Creed Shadows’ swift and stealthy protagonist Naoe her impactful ‘needle drop’ story moments. Their surf and psych rock influences were a natural fit for the game’s direction, with the developers imagining a Tarantino soundtrack when sourcing music for Shadows. In a twist, the band were tasked with interpreting Jesper Kyd’s iconic series theme, “Ezio’s Family” — normally adapted as part of the score music. The TEKE::TEKE members’ Japanese heritage connected them deeply to the game’s setting. Fittingly, through their research and absorption in the project, the band tapped into ‘shinobi-do’, the philosophy of the shinobi that remains central to the game.
‘UKOMBOZI’
Production team Thunderdrum (Alex Cameron Ward, Félix Rebaud-Sauer & Hugo Brijs) focused on bringing Yasuke’s redemptive story to life. They collaborated with British-Tanzanian vocalist Tiggs Da Author, who has worked with icons like J Hus and Stefflon Don. Fusing Morricone guitars, East African rhythms and traditional Japanese flutes with psych-rock instrumentals, Thunderdrum display their strength in guitar music and scoring whilst Tiggs Da Author enters bold new territory, this being his first release singing in his native language of Swahili.
