Assassin’s Creed – Leap Into History is a five-LP soundtrack boxset from Laced Records celebrating the franchise’s 15th Anniversary.
Assassin’s Creed – Leap Into History includes music from 12 games, taking listeners on a chronological journey through the franchise’s historical timeline. The release features 70 compositions from Jesper Kyd, Sarah Schachner, Austin Wintory, Elitsa Alexandrova, and others.
Each track has been mastered for vinyl and is pressed onto heavyweight LPs. The boxset will be released in Jaunary 2023 in standard and limited editions.
From the press release:
“All the composers and musicians that have touched Assassin’s Creed have faced the challenge of enrapturing action-adventure gamers while encapsulating momentous periods of human history. Jesper Kyd — the architect of the series’ musical moodscape — inadvertently created an iconic sonic signature with “Ezio’s Family” from Assassin’s Creed II, an emotive piece about loss and struggle in Renaissance Florence. Diegetic music increasingly played a role as the game worlds grew richer and more detailed, and players became enraptured with sea shanties while sailing the seas in Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag. Austin Wintory swerved towards cheeky 19th Century waltzes as the Frye twins danced like vicious cats around their prey in Assassin’s Creed Syndicate. Sarah Schachner juxtaposed stunning scenes of ancient Egypt with haunting electronic music elements in the Assassin’s Creed Origins score. And there were few people more qualified to add their voice to Assassin’s Creed Valhalla than verified Viking and scholar of old Norse song, Einar Selvik.”
