==Trivia==
*The ''Assassin's Creed III'' soundtrack is the first soundtrack of the series' main games not to feature Jesper Kyd.
*There are several tracks from the game which are not present on the soundtrack. These include music from the first encounter with Faulkner and the ''Aquila'', the music which plays whilst in a restricted area, and the fight music which plays when contesting a Templar fort in the Frontier.
