Ubisoft and Laced Records have renewed their adherence to the brotherhood to bring the music of Assassins Creed Shadows to vinyl.

Assassins Creed Shadows transports players to the rich setting of feudal Japan, anchored by a soundtrack that uses traditional instruments as well as playful modern production techniques, nodding both to the time period and the series sci-fi, time-travelling themes.

Composer duo The Flight (Joe Henson and Alexis Smith) return to the Assassins Creed series to provide a score that fuses traditional instrumentation with contemporary orchestral and electronic elements, creating a distinctive sense of time and place while playfully nodding to the series science-fiction themes.

The dual protagonists of Assassins Creed Shadows are represented with different instruments and musical approaches: stealthy shinobi adept Naoe by her in-game instrument of choice, the clay flute (tsuchibue) and disembodied whispering during stealth moments; and legendary samurai 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 Flights musical collaborator on Assassins Creed Odyssey, Michael Georgiades.
