Update: May 12, 2022 Ubisoft has officially confirmed that Jesper Kyd and Sarah Schachner are composing the soundtrack for Assassin'south Creed Valhalla, while Einar Selvik is writing the original songs for the game.

While Assassin's Creed Valhalla is looking to move the franchise forward in many ways, a composer who worked on the series several games ago is returning. Jesper Kyd, well-known for his piece of work composing for Assassin's Creed 2, Assassin's Creed: Alliance and Assassin's Creed: Revelations, is returning to help compose the soundtrack for Assassinator'due south Creed Valhalla.

As seen hither on the German language Uplay storefront, Jesper Kyd is listed as one of the composers for the Assassin's Creed Valhalla soundtrack, alongside Sarah Schachner and Einar Selvik. Schachner is no stranger to the franchise, having worked equally the composer on Assassin's Creed Origins. Meanwhile, Selvik composed for the Telly testify Vikings.

Needless to say, this should make for quite the powerful composing trio, peculiarly given the dark setting and more personal focus of the story hinted at and then far.
