In Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök, the most ambitious expansion in franchise history, Eivor must embrace their destiny as Odin, the Norse god of Battle and Wisdom. Unleash new divine powers as you embark on a desperate quest through a breathtaking world. Complete a legendary Viking saga and save your son in the face of the gods’ doom.

A war begins. A world ends. This is the Dawn of Ragnarök.

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök will be available across all platforms on March 10.

Says Economou: “At its core, Dawn of Ragnarök is a story with deep emotional roots and I wanted the music to embody that on a molecular level. I composed the main theme to reflect Odin’s journey for vengeance and the yearning to find his son Baldr. This lyrical theme, heard throughout the score on nyckelharpa, vocals, strings, lap harp, and mandolin, evolves through an orchestral and neofolk lens as we follow Odin on this epic saga through rich Norse mythical worlds.

Because this story is such a highly immersive and cinematic experience, I aimed to design a colorful musical environment for the audience; one that draws the listener in, broadens their emotional perspective, and emboldens them to live and fight as Odin would in this monumental battle between truth and myth.”

*Assassin’s Creed Valhalla is available on Xbox Series X | S, Xbox One consoles, PlayStation®5, PlayStation®4, the Epic Games Store and Ubisoft Store on Windows PC, as well as on Stadia, Amazon Luna and Ubisoft’s subscription service, Ubisoft+.

About Stephanie Economou

Stephanie Economou is a composer and violinist based in Los Angeles, CA. Her early successes have emerged from her exploration and study of widely varying musical styles, including classical, experimental, folk and rock. Stephanie’s experience in film scoring extends from drama to action to comedy, which has demanded the synthesis of an electronic and acoustic musical palette. It is her uniquely hybridized compositional voice which has proven a valuable asset across a wide spectrum of visual media.

Stephanie is the composer of the Netflix TV series Jupiter’s Legacy, based on the comic series by Mark Millar. She has written the music for the Lionsgate/Starz series Step Up: High Water, as well as the second season of Manhunt: Deadly Games, and two episodes of the Disney+ documentary series Marvel 616, directed by Gillian Jacobs and Alison Brie. Most recently, she scored the Assassin’s Creed Valhalla DLC “The Siege of Paris,” the Netflix series, The Chair, created by Amanda Peet and starring Sandra Oh, and the upcoming LucasFilm/Disney+ documentary feature, More Than Robots, where she continued her collaboration with director Gillian Jacobs. Her latest score for Assassin’s Creed Dawn of Ragnarök is set for release March 2022.

Stephanie is a long-time collaborator of Golden Globe-nominated composer, Harry Gregson-Williams, composing additional music on scores such as Disney’s live-action Mulan, directed by Niki Caro, Jon Turtletaub’s The Meg, Antoine Fuqua’s The Equalizer 2, Disneynature’s Penguins, and Ridley Scott’s Oscar-nominated film The Martian. Her music can also be heard in Niki Caro’s The Zookeeper’s Wife, Ben Affleck’s Live By Night, and Simon Baker’s Breath. She has also aided in crafting the scores for Hulu’s mini-series Catch-22 directed by George Clooney and Grant Heslov, as well as the ABC/Warner Bros. TV series Whiskey Cavalier.

Originally from Long Island, New York, Stephanie received her Bachelor’s degree in Composition from the New England Conservatory of Music and Master’s in Composition for Visual Media from University of California Los Angeles. In 2015, she was chosen as one of six fellows for the Sundance Institute Composers Lab at Skywalker Ranch. It was through this experience with the Sundance Institute that she felt her diversity as a woman in the film industry to be deeply fostered and celebrated. As a resident board member for The Alliance for Women Film Composers, Stephanie considers the empowerment of women in film an exceedingly necessary platform, and strives to make her voice, as well as other female voices in the industry, heard.
