Assassin’s Creed Syndicate Composer Praises Clair Obscur — Expedition 33 Devs: “They Make Us All Better”

“What an absolute joy and privilege to spend time” with Sandfall Interactive’s composer Lorien Testard “this week,” Wintory says. Wintory is widely known for his work on titles such as Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, Hades 2, and Journey — the latter being the only game ever nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media.

The acclaimed composer shared photos from his visit with Testard and other members of the team, including creative director Guillaume Broche.
