Who composed the music for the first Assassin's Creed video game?

Jesper Kyd composed the music for the first Assassin's Creed video game.

Kyd created the original game's score, blending orchestral writing with electronic textures and choral elements. The music supports the game's shifting structure, moving between the medieval world of Altaïr's memories and the modern-day sections experienced through the Animus.

The score helped establish the series' recognizable musical identity. Kyd later returned to compose music for Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, and Assassin's Creed: Revelations, making him especially associated with the franchise's early Ezio-era sound.

He is sometimes confused with later Assassin's Creed composers. Lorne Balfe worked on Assassin's Creed III and other projects, while Sarah Schachner composed music for titles including Origins and Valhalla. Austin Wintory composed the score for Assassin's Creed Syndicate's companion material, not the first game.
