Jesper Kyd - Raid: Call Of The Arbiter (Original Soundtrack) '2023

Tracks list

Jesper Kyd Jakobson (/ˈkɪd/[citation needed]; born 3 February 1972) is a
Danish composer and sound designer who has worked on various video game,
television, and film projects. He has composed soundtracks for the Hitman
series, Assassin's Creed series, Borderlands series, Darksiders II and State of
Decay, among many others. His scores use orchestra, choir, acoustic
manipulations and electronic soundscapes.

Jesper is scoring the original limited animated series RAID: Call of the Arbiter
based on the billion dollar mobile game franchise RAID: Shadow Legends. Revealed
March 13, 2023, at South by Southwest® (SXSW®) Conference and Festival by
global game publisher Pixel United and RAID creators Plarium, the series will
consist of 10 five-minute weekly episodes set to premiere on YouTube on May 18,
2023. The animated series elevates RAID’s core characters with deeper,
more immersive storylines while delivering cinematic-quality animation.
Kyd’s symphonic and choral fantasy score was recorded with the Budapest
Scoring Orchestra and Choir.

“It has been so inspiring to work with producer Eric Rollman, showrunner
Jay Oliva and executive producer Nicholas Day, who is also Vice President of
Creative at Plarium,” said Kyd. “They facilitated a really creative
environment where original music ideas were embraced and encouraged. RAID is a
rich and colorful universe so it was great fun to score these beloved characters
from the game, bringing them additional depth and helping to bring them alive
through thematic music for the animated series. For the recording, it was also
an honor to work with the Budapest Scoring Orchestra and Choir who brought a
really passionate performance to this music which features the choir
predominantly throughout the score.”

The game RAID: Shadow Legends has quickly become one of the fastest growing
collection RPGs with over 75 million downloads across all platforms exceeding $1
billion in lifetime revenues. The turn-based fantasy game immerses players and
offers over 700 collectable champions across 15 different factions. With this
new series, RAID fans can look forward to learning the origins of some of their
most beloved champions, uncovering surprises throughout the series that tie to
in-game rewards, and several other collaborations that deliver an immersive
experience connecting the game and the series.

The animated series takes place in the world of Teleria, a land seemingly
abandoned by its gods, torn by warring factions locked in ceaseless conflict.
The central character – pulled from the game’s core lore –
is an ancient guardian called the Arbiter who is seeking a path to return to the
world. She must summon a team of unlikely champions to light the spark that will
cast down the darkness.
