The Assassin's Creed: Shadows soundtrack is a collection of music tracks written by the British composing team Joe Henson and Alexis Smith, known collectively as The Flight; Japanese psychedelic rock group TEKE::TEKE; and British-Tanzanian rapper Tiggs Da Author that will be used as background music in Assassin's Creed: Shadows. It will release on 14 February 2025.

Background

On 12 June 2024, Ubisoft announced that it had developed a 4-track EP titled Themes of Shadows as a promotion for Shadows and it would release 2 days later.[1] Ubisoft revealed the three different collaborating artists and what each of their sounds would bring to the game.[2] The music duo The Flight, who had composed the soundtrack for Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, would return and incorporate traditional Japanese instruments and musicians, blending them together for a unique modern style of sound.[3] The Montreal-based Japanese band TEKE::TEKE would contribute their experimental approach to music to create original songs used for emotional soundscapes.[4] Lastly, British-Tanzanian rapper Tiggs Da Author worked with composer team Thunderdrum to create a psychedelic rock fusion of music that will be heard throughout the game's main campaign.[5]
