Another video game musical performance is coming our way. Ubisoft has announced its collaboration with Overlook Events to launch the Assassin's Creed immersive symphony concert in 2022.
Christened the Assassin's Creed Symphonic Adventure, the concert is being held to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of the critically acclaimed video game franchise known for its rich storytelling and penchant for allowing players to make historical events their own virtual playground. As the name suggests, the symphony concert will be the Animus which takes fans of the series through an orchestral adventure from the Third Crusade as depicted in the first game to the Viking Expansion as seen in Assassin's Creed Valhalla.
Following the success of both the Dragon Ball Z and Saint Seiya symphonic concerts, Overlook Events seeks to immerse Assassin's Creed fans for two straight hours with musical renditions of 100 tracks from the series by a live orchestra and choir along with lighting, sound effects, and video clips.
“Music has always played a pivotal role in the Assassin's Creed experience and I’m thrilled to join Overlook Events' Symphonic Adventures Concert in celebrating the music, mythology, and rich stories of the Assassin's Creed series," said Jesper Kyd, composer of the Assassin’s Creed series. "I hope you will join us for this exciting new concert production touring in 2022 and beyond.”
“This collaboration with Overlook Events will allow fans to immerse themselves in the rich and powerful world of Assassin's Creed as a special celebration of the fifteenth anniversary," said Azaïzia Aymar, Transmedia and Business Development Director at Ubisoft. "Overlook brings creative expertise to put together this symphonic concert, using high-quality special effects to enhance the immersion and deliver a thrilling Assassin’s Creed experience.”
Assassin's Creed Symphonic Adventure premieres at the Grand Rex in Paris on October 29, 2022 which coincides with the fifteenth anniversary of the Assassin's Creed franchise. Tickets will go on sale at the concert's official website on December 21. The world tour will begin at some point in early 2023.
There are currently no means of watching the Assassin's Creed Symphonic Adventure online, unlike Post Malone's Pokemon Twenty Fifth Anniversary Virtual Concert and Sonic's Thirtieth Anniversary Symphony Orchestra.
