  • Check out the premiere of the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla main theme.
    Composed by Sarah Schachner and Jesper Kyd (featuring Einar Selvik).
    Performed, produced, arranged and recorded by Sarah Schachner.
    Turn on your headphones and turn up the music, Assassins!
    The theme carries the weight of protagonist Eivor’s personal conflicts and overarching journey throughout the game. What feelings were you trying to inspire and evoke with Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’s Main Theme?
    Sarah Schachner: We wanted the atmosphere of the theme to instantly transport the listener to another time and place, filled with mystery and uncertainty. There are Norse instruments, but they are used in a more modern way. The theme represents Eivor’s journey, as well as the Vikings’ hope for a better life as they move further south into the Anglo-Saxon regions [of England].
    Jesper Kyd: We wanted to evoke Eivor's journey, what drives her, and the bond she has with her family. Eivor is searching for something, and this longing to find it and resolve it is a key element reflected in the melody and mood ideas I contributed to the theme.
    Einar Selvik: The hope was to make something that reflected or created an overall arc of the theme of the game. The game is set in such dramatic times, and so the emotional aspect of it is something I wanted to elevate with my contributions. Generally, I think it made a lot of sense to bring all the game´s composers together for such a central piece, allowing the song to further reflect the different expressions the players will encounter throughout the game.

Odyssey was beyond average from the start, the plot is way too generic and execution is even worse, the story starts partially strong but holy shit the amount of filler in between, around 75% of the story is filler with barley any of it being meaningful, the acting is also atrocious. It’s easily the worst narrative in the franchise, specially when it comes after one of the best, Origins, and Valhalla game after it and it’s so much better

    It sounds like victory, but at a great cost.
    The constant drum and grunts of men sounds like the row of oars in percect synch. On top of the swelling and falling of the melody like the waves beneath a boat.
    The part with the vocals (same guy who sang for the show Vikings, btw) peaks the feeling of loss, pain, and sorrow. After that, the music swells.. the men get louder and more hungry for war with a stronger will to fight.. Not because they are fearless but because they fear to feel anymore loss in their souls.

Well studied history value, architectural design to the finest details. As an Architectural Graduates I have to say this is beyond just a game, it is a respect to the History of Mankind, to the very unique and own timeline during old Eygpt, Athens, Greeks, myth of Atlantis, then now the mighty Viking's Great Story in old England..

    I don't know why, but this theme just scares me for some reason, it's disturbing to me. It feels like nostalgia, or like a dream, a nightmare, a lost memory. Or maybe it's like a lost past, lost history, or just a reminder that all those Vikings have been dead for so many years, and we don't know them and how we just know some by name, that will happen to us too. It just scares me.
