Which composer wrote the main theme for Assassin's Creed II?

Jesper Kyd wrote the main theme for Assassin’s Creed II.

Kyd composed the score for Assassin’s Creed II, helping define the game’s musical identity with a mixture of orchestral, choral, electronic, and period-inspired sounds. The music supports the game’s Renaissance Italian setting while also reinforcing its modern-day science-fiction framing.

His work on the series includes the well-known track “Ezio’s Family,” which became closely associated with Ezio Auditore and was reused or rearranged in later Assassin’s Creed projects. Kyd also composed music for the original Assassin’s Creed and Assassin’s Creed: Revelations.

A frequent mix-up involves Lorne Balfe, who composed the score for Assassin’s Creed III and contributed to later entries. Sarah Schachner is associated with Origins and Valhalla, while Austin Wintory composed Assassin’s Creed Syndicate’s score.
