Today, Montreal-based, Japanese Psych-Rock group TEKE::TEKE have shared “Ezio’s Family – Shadows Version” from the Assassin’s Creed Shadows original soundtrack. It’s the first of several original recordings by the band for the upcoming Ubisoft title.

Tapped by Ubisoft Quebec for the experimental approach they use to craft their soundscapes, TEKE::TEKE’s music is highlighted by traditional Japanese instruments, flute, and trombone, but also incorporates guitars and cinematic vocals.

After the release of the gameplay walkthrough during Ubisoft Forward, Ubisoft revealed  the teams crafting the music for the new Assassin’s Creed game. Joining TEKE::TEKE,  two other different composers’ teams have been involved.
 
The music duo The Flight, made up of Joe Henson and Alexis Smith, who previously worked on Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, are returning to compose the original score for Assassin’s Creed Shadows.

Additionally, Hugo Brijs, Alex Cameron Ward, and Félix Rebaud-Sauer, from composer team Thunderdrum, worked alongside Tiggs Da Author, a Tanzanian-born rapper, singer, songwriter and producer from South London to create a psychedelic rock fusion, bringing an additional layer to the Assassin’s Creed Shadows soundtrack.

1. Shadows Main Theme (The Flight)
2. The Fujibayashi Legacy (The Flight)
3. Rise of Yasuke (The Flight)
