'Assassin's Creed III: Liberation' Composer Wins Game Audio Network Guild Award

By Jen Bosier, Contributor

In 2012, Ubisoft released a PS Vita-exclusive title in their Assassin’s Creed series, Assassin’s Creed III: Liberation. The game followed the first female assassin of the franchise, Creole aristocrat Aveline de Grandpré, through the bayous of Louisiana. Set along side the events of Assassin’s Creed III, Liberation was a surprisingly strong story and Aveline herself proved to be a wonderful character. The element which set this game apart the most, however, was Winifred Phillips‘ tremendous soundtrack. In fact, Phillips’ work was just acknowledged by the Game Audio Network Guild. The “Main Theme” won the award for “Best Original Vocal Song – Choral,” with good reason. Phillips’ blend of chorals and Creole sounds proved to be one of the most unique combinations last year, which may be why the G.A.N.G. award is one of a handful of awards the soundtrack won, in addition to several nominations.
