Heroes & Generals Scores Assassin's Creed Composer Jesper Kyd

The award winning composer Jesper Kyd, famous for his work on the soundtrack for Ubisoft’s epic Assassin’s Creed franchise, has signed on to do the soundtrack for the upcoming PC title Heores & Generals. Kyd has received multiple honors for his previous soundtrack works, acknowledged by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts, the International Film Music Critics Association, and winning Best Original Music awards at top game industry destinations like G4TV, GameSpot.com, and IGN.com.

Following the critically-acclaimed launch of Assassin’s Creed Revelations featuring his powerful soundtrack, BAFTA-winning composer Jesper Kyd hasannounced a partnership with Reto-Moto to provide key music for Heroes & Generals, the studio’s highly-anticipated combined online FPS and Strategygame. Playing to the themes of a realistic World War II setting, Jesper Kydcrafts a rich musical tapestry to reflect the ongoing battle for European domination in the online war being waged in Heroes & Generals. Working with longtime collaborators and countrymen at Reto-Moto, Jesper Kyd lends hismusical expertise to the team of proven veterans.
In Heroes & Generals, players will help to turn the tide of a massive online war being fought by thousands of other real players, either in the role of a soldier engaged in blistering first-person shooter combat, or as a strategic officer influencing the grand scheme of the campaign on a tactical war map. Heroes & Generals, now in Alpha testing, aims to deliver this combined one-two punch in a thrilling multiplayer online battle across realistic WWII environments, all playable from within a browser thanks to a Reto-Moto’s own potent 3D engine, called “Retox”.

[quote]”We’re really good friends, so at some point they were ready to share their
latest, greatest idea with me…Heroes & Generals is totally unique: I can’t think of any other game that has all of these different elements combined together. Winning a map actually matters and affects the entire war campaign.” – Jesper Kyd comments on his relationship with Reto-Moto, whose founders created the popular Hitman series[/quote]

Currently in production at Denmark-based Reto-Moto, Heroes & Generals is a AAA PC game that’s fully playable in a browser, yet offers state-of-the-art graphics and sound thanks to the proprietary Retox engine. It delivers a true first-person shooter experience with intense infantry and vehicle combat, customizable characters with progressive ranks, and diverse battlegrounds.

As the shooter battles are fought, resources and global strategies are managed by strategic officers on a tactical overview map linked to the game’s innovative War Server. All gamers are encouraged to help evolve and influence H&G’s development by signing up for an alpha-key at the community site.

Just to wet your appetite, here’s a teaser for the work Jesper is doing for this latest project:
