Which composer created the music for Assassin's Creed II?

Jesper Kyd composed the music for Assassin's Creed II.

Kyd's score helped define the atmosphere of the game's Renaissance Italian setting. Its music combines orchestral writing, choral textures, and period-inspired colors to accompany exploration, combat, and cinematic scenes involving Ezio Auditore.

Assassin's Creed II was released in 2009 and takes players through locations such as Florence, Venice, and Monteriggioni. The score is often remembered alongside the game's visual representation of fifteenth-century Italy, although the game takes substantial artistic liberties with historical events and buildings.

Kyd also composed music for the original Assassin's Creed and later contributed to Assassin's Creed: Revelations. Lorne Balfe is strongly associated with Assassin's Creed III and other series entries, while Sarah Schachner worked on later games including Origins and Valhalla. Those associations make composer questions easy to mix up.
