 „Wir wollten den Hörer mit der Atmosphäre des Titels unmittelbar in eine andere Zeit und an einen anderen Ort entführen. Ein Ort voller Geheimnisse und Ungewissheit. Es spielen nordische Instrumente, jedoch auf eine eher moderne Art und Weise. Der Titel repräsentiert Eivors Abenteuer, sowie die Hoffnung der Wikinger auf ein besseres Leben, während sie sich weiter in die südlichen Regionen der Angelsachsen begeben“, sagt Sarah Schachner zur Komposition des Titelsongs.
„Wir wollen Eivors Reise hervorheben, die Motivation und das Band zur Familie unterstreichen. Eivor ist auf der Suche nach etwas, und diese Sehnsucht, es zu finden und zu lösen, ist ein Schlüsselelement, das sich in der Melodie und der Stimmung widerspiegelt“, fügt Jesper Kyd hinzu.
Assassin’s Creed Valhalla wird von Ubisoft Montreal* entwickelt und lädt die Spieler zu einem epischen Abenteuer ein, in dem sie die Geschichte von Eivor entdecken, einem gefürchteten Wikinger, aufgewachsen mit Legenden von Schlachten und Ruhm. In einem mitreißenden Wikinger-Erlebnis erkunden Spieler eine mysteriöse, aber auch wunderschöne offene Spielwelt vor der brutalen Kulisse von England in seinem dunkelsten Zeitalter. Dank zahlreicher neuer Features plündern und brandschatzen Spieler, lassen ihre Siedlungen wachsen und weiten ihre politische Macht stetig aus, um sich einen Platz unter den Göttern Walhallas zu verdienen. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla wird am 17. November 2020 weltweit für Xbox One, PlayStation®4, Stadia und auf Windows PC, exklusiv im Epic Game Store und Ubisoft Store, veröffentlicht. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla wird auf Xbox Series X und PlayStation®5 erscheinen, sobald die Konsolen auf den Markt kommen.

She often blends authentic folk string instruments with analog synths, electronic production, and orchestra.
