Alas, I won't be able to listen to it until after work...

The bigger question is - what happened to Ted Reedy, who was originally announced as the composer?

Seems like she worked on AC:Black Flag and AC:Origins. That speaks highly of her music to me.

I really enjoyed Origins music, so that's a plus in my book. One of my favorite AC games.

listened to the Valor bit.. it starts well but then turns into yet another generic "heroic" style melody and rhythm.
We're far from Suicide Mission's imaginative rhythm ( with a meter of 2/3/2 ) and way more elaborate melody.
Or even ME3's main theme which conveyed an atmosphere suited to the opening of the game.

Anyway, maybe it'll improve .

I definitely enjoyed listening to Valor and think that this is a really great composer for Anthem (I really enjoyed her work on AC Origins)! I actually liked the usage of digaroos in the song around the middle. It's a very eeary and different sound.

Meh... Valor is not nearly as good as the stuff from ME3 and DAI, seem very filmy generic, somewhat reminiscent of A Trail of Hope from Andromeda.

You gotta rise up, like a phoenix through, some mother f***ing flame!

I'd have to agree.

Schachner's game credits as sole composer are Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, and Assassin's Creed Origins. In Hollywood, she worked as an arranger for the scores of Expendables 2 and Iron Man 3.

Yah, two great titles under her belt.

i really like pathfinder's setting but i REALLY don't like how focused on min/maxing the rules are. it's designed from the ground up by and for min/maxer's and autists. the rest of us normies have to play on crayon eater difficulty just to hit a target.

Valor sounds badass...makes me want to sign up. She's blending some interesting sounds into the score.

just listened to the Valor track, and I gotta say...that sounds amazing
can't wait to hear the rest of the soundtrack
music can make or break a game(same with movies), and if all the songs are as good as this one, well at least I'll have something nice to listen to while playing ^_^

Just wanted to put this back on the front page because that Valor track was pretty awesome. Can't wait to hear the rest.
