Assassin's Creed Gets Kyd Score
by Carlos Bergfeld, Oct 16, 2007 3:33pm PDTFamed Hitman series composer and British Academy Award winner Jesper Kyd will compose the score for Ubisoft Montreal's upcoming historical hitman action title Assassin's Creed (PC, PS3, X360), Ubisoft announced today. Kyd is known for his work on Io Interactive's Hitman series of games as well as another of the studio's properties, Freedom Fighters (PC, PS2, GCN, Xbox). Kyd worked with Io again on the studio's upcoming heist shooter Kane & Lynch: Dead Men (PS3, X360), and his other projects include scoring Epic's forthcoming Unreal Tournament 3 (PC, PS3, X360) and Bizarre Creations' upcoming third-person shooter The Club (PC, PS3, X360). Assassin's Creed is expected to retail for the consoles sometime in November, while the PC version was recently delayed until early 2008.

It's amazing how good some of the C64 and Amiga music was given the limitations of the hardware. (Or maybe the limitations helped by forcing people to think about composition more? I don't know.)

Looks like it has a lot of potential. The atmosphere in particular (from watching videos) seems to be awesome. The graphics looks great, and with the freedom of wandering around huge cities it would be a damn shame if they didn't get everything right.
If they nail everything, including combat i'll definitely consider getting this.
Oh, getting Jesper Kyd to score it can only be a good thing.
Btw, any mention of coop play for this?
