	Later in 2018, they composed the [[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey soundtrack\|soundtrack]] for ''[[Assassin's Creed: Odyssey]]''. Differing from their last soundtrack work, The Flight requested as much visual information from the then-upcoming game as they could. The image that resonated with them the most was of the protagonist standing in front of [[Athens]], [[Greece]]. The year beforehand, they composed the soundtrack to ''Horizon Zero Dawn''.

	On the creation of ''Odyssey''{{'}}s soundtrack, Henson and Smith started on the main themes, character themes, and antagonist themes, before moving onto creating music for Greece's individual regions. The duo's favorite piece they composed was "The Legend of the Eagle Bearer". Additional artists assisted on the soundtrack, included Mike Georgiades on various stringed instruments, Renaud Ford playing the rebec, Emma Rohan on vocals for the main theme, and both Rob Farrer and Joby Burgess on percussion. They also worked with George Strezov and the Sofia Session Choir in Bulgaria.<ref name="ACOD interview" />		On the creation of ''Odyssey''{{'}}s soundtrack, Henson and Smith started on the main themes, character themes, and antagonist themes, before moving onto creating music for Greece's individual regions.
