Who composed the soundtrack for Assassin's Creed Origins?

The story behind the answer

Sarah Schachner composed the soundtrack for Assassin's Creed Origins. Her music combines electronic sound design, percussion, strings, and atmospheric textures to evoke the landscapes and cultures of ancient Egypt.

Origins was released in 2017 and follows Bayek of Siwa during the political conflict between Cleopatra and Ptolemy XIII. Schachner's score supports settings ranging from the Nile Valley and Mediterranean cities to deserts and tombs.

Schachner later contributed to Assassin's Creed Valhalla, while other composers handled different major entries. Jesper Kyd is strongly associated with Assassin's Creed II, and Lorne Balfe is associated with Assassin's Creed: Revelations and Assassin's Creed III.

The soundtrack is therefore a useful way to distinguish Origins from earlier games. Its soundscape was designed for a large open-world role-playing game, reflecting the title's shift toward exploration, combat builds, and environmental discovery.
