- Ezio's Family has become synonymous with Assassin's Creed. And with the Assassin's Creed Shadows version being released a couple weeks ago, I felt compelled to rank every official version of Ezio's Family in the Assassin's Creed series.

Ac2 arguably has one of the best gaming ost of all time
I wouldn't say best since gaming is so damn wide but just chilling out listening to Ac2;s music is so fun.
Nope, not out of all time
Well, it's your opinion, but there are a lot of games that nail their ost's better tbh
lol
Spiderman 2018?
Far cry 3, 5?
God of war 2018?
Uncharted?
The last of us?
Ghost of thusima (Jin sakai theme)?
Days gone?
Gta 3, gta vice city, gta sa, gta 4, gta 5?
Cod mw2 (2009), cod bo2?
Dying light?
Super mario?
Sonic?
Mortal kombat 11?
Etc
What about these? I think these game themes, not all but almost every beats Ezio family theme
And i say this as a huge Ezio family theme enjoyer
Personally, I always viewed Rogue’s main theme as an albeit basic representation of Shay’s conversion from Assassin to Templar. It starts with ‘Ezio’s Family’, representing him being an Assassin, and then comes in full force with a version of a Black Flag track ‘The British Empire’, representing his conversion to the Templars who were allied to, and had the resources of, the British Empire.
I love the AC Mirage one
Same here.🥂
Mirage is shit and I mean dogshit
I kind of like a Mirage, but it's just hard without getting caught by the guards like the guards are impossible to kill.
Pretty sure Ezio’s Family is The Assassin’s Creed theme. Not only do we hear that music from the Ezio games, but some others as well.
It started off as Ezio's personal theme, but then Ubisoft kept using it for other games in the franchise so it ended up being the main theme of the entire AC franchise 😅
The only other theme that I consider to rival Ezio's family is the theme from AC3. I used to listen to that on repeat all the time.
The actual assassins creed theme is from revelations
The original will always be my favorite and when I heard it in this video I shed a tear because of how amazing it is
same.
Before I watch, I just wanna say thank you for all the great work you’ve done. I’ve been watching you for a couple of years now, and you’ve easily become one of my favorite youtubers. Assassin’s creed is my favorite franchise ever, but over the past decade it seems like so many others criticize the series for the sake of it, and don’t care to enjoy these games because they’re stuck in the past or like to complain about everything. People like you and the hidden one bring a sense of positivity and optimism and love for the franchise, and it feels great to see others in the comment section being a part of this new positive community. So thank you again for all that you do
Saying people are complaining for the sake of it just isn't fair. We LOVE the franchise. We wouldn't be so disappointed and broken hearted if we didn't love it. It's simply disingenuous to say that the original games are in the same vein as the new ones. They just aren't. We're not complaining or being stuck in the past. We WANT ingenuity and new stories being told. But when those stories break lore, turn the series into a fantasy genre, and throw basic groundwork and simple story elements out the window, that then make the older games make no sense at all... it's infuriating. You can't lay foundation, build a house, put the roof on, and then think that because you want to give the house a refurbished look, you can destroy the foundation and expect the house to stay standing.
Not to mention microtransactions, unfinished and unpolished games, games that can't be played at release, the mythology and "gods and godesses", throwing the history part of the franchise out the window in favor of telling a story that revolves around mythology being real, etc. etc.
All that to say, just because some people are okay with their games becoming a fake RPG where the choices you make don't matter anyways, a mythology series that throws the first 10 games' lore in the dumpster, a Microtransaction money factory that sells shiny new objects to kids and OP weapons and armor that some HAVE to buy so that they can finish the ridiculously padded games into less than 100 hours, and series that is no longer about assassin's and now is about DEMIGODS, REINCARNATED GODS, AND TELEPORTATION...... then that's fine.... But don't call it an assassin's creed game. Just call It a Viking RPG, etc.
But DON'T slap "Ezios family", the ability to dive off a high place into a haybale with a screeching bird sound effect, give us a hidden blade and expect us to jump for joy so we can have the illusion it's the same as the older games but better.... because it's not.
This is no disrespect to you. I have absolutely nothing against you. I'm glad we all have this thing that means so much to us. But as I said. Your statement simply isn't fair. And I'd highly advise you to think more critically. This more is better thing Ubisoft believes... is soooo far from the truth
I swear to God if I hear "Ezio's Family" ONE MORE TIME.
It got old really fast tbh
LOL
Hey, so there's this really cool track from Assassin's Creed...
@@arkhamknight7236true, that’s why I don’t like it too much
I find it kinda cool how they always make it fit for any time period. The different takes on it are simply cool
My ranking
8 - Oddyssey, gets really old
7 - Shadows, not sure yet
6 - Syndicate, solid but short
5 - Origins, great but too short
4 - Rogue, now were talking
3 - Mirage, Exceptional sounding just too short
2 - Valhalla, 🐐
1 - Ac2, You already know
Love this
Rogue not rouge
Putting odyssey that low is a crime
Syndicate is number 2 for me since I’m a violinist and it’s incredibly fun to play on violin.
MasterAssassin, I know I commented this on a previous video. But I’d really like to see how you’d map out an extended story for AC Rogue. I was impressed by the AC Vengeance script you did. So this seems like a great opportunity to delve more into Shay’s time both as an Assassin and Templar during the Seven Years’ War 👍🏼
I LOVE the Shadows version and all the other tracks. I just love it when AC soundtracks bring in modern sounds instead of just generic historical instruments all the time. Especially with feudal Japan, there are thousands of video games set there that just have some flutes and drums and call it quit. Shadows doing something new with the setting is great imo.
Fair enough I totally understand that perspective. I think I need to hear how it all sounds in game because I worry the more modern sounds (like the trap beats and everything) may take me out of the game, but I definitely credit it for doing something different and bold I hope it pays off!!
@@masterassassin791yeh agreed 👍🏻
That Shadows version of "Ezio's Family" is basically the Earth track from AC2, representing that whole game, as Shadows ver covers many tracks from 2 OST, like Venice Rooftop, with it's own modern flair and setting too. Which is great and highly appreciated if you ask me.
There arent THOUSANDS of video games about this theme tho
Bear Mcreary needs to do a full soundtrack for an AC game. He did Jack the Ripper but I feel like he would crush a main title.
AC Rogue's Main theme is just incredible. The way it adds to Ezio's family is really something. Melancholic and uplifting.
AC2 is obviously the best version, but besides that Valhalla has my favorite rendition of Ezio's Family. I think it is the most unique, and with the Norwegian vocals it really fits the Viking Setting. It also plays in Valhalla's most pivotal story point which I think you forgot to mention, Eivor rejecting Odin. It gives me chills every time I listen to it.
I prefer how Unity and Rogue mix Ezio’s Family with other melody. It makes it unique to the game, instead of the same melody.
8. Odyssey
7. Shadows (still depends on how it will be used so this is subject to change)
6. Syndicate
5. Valhalla
4. Rogue
3. Origins
2. Mirage (the Arabic where the vocals go “Where is my home? Who am I?” is so impactful and emotional to me especially considering the story)
1. Original
1. Origins Version.
2. Valhalla Version (Ascending to Valhalla).
3. Mirage Version.
4. OG Version from Assassin's Creed II.
5. Syndicate Version (Family).
6. Rogue Version (Main Theme).
7. Odyssey Version (Assassin's Creed).
8. Shadows Version.
my favourite is mirage's version
Assassin's Creed Shadows' main them is bangers ngl
Federico:"It is a good life we live, brother."
Ezio:"The best. May it never change."
Federico:"And may it never change us."
Narrator:"It would, in fact, change them."
Iv heard Ezios family more than any other song, Iv been listening to it since I was 9 or 10 when I first played AC2 on my 360, and I’m still not sick of it 10+ years later!
My top 5:
1 - OG version AC2
2 - Origins version
3 - Family (Syndicate) blends really well with its main theme
4 - Ascending to Valhalla (Valhalla)
5 - Assassins Creed (Odyssey)
I think you said it great on what’s great about Rouge’s rendition of the theme in how it starts with the classic rendition of Ezio’s family, but changes in tune as a way to show Shay defecting from the brotherhood, with it ending with bits of 3’s theme as a foreshadow of what’s to come
I honestly love how Ezio’s Family became the official theme. As the name suggests the Brotherhood was also a family to most of the Assassin’s in the series.
I love playing AC Rogue’s theme on my flute. It sounds really good.
My personal #1 are the original and the one from Origins, because no other version managed to merge the Ezio's Family tunes with the rest of the soundtrack so beautifully for me. But at the bottom line every single one of those versions is awesome. Honourable mention: "Le Roi est mort" (UST from Unity), because of it's creativity
I know it’s overused but when it starts I get goosebumps
I literally had no idea this was Ezio’s song specifically I always though it was the main theme of the AC series 😂
Us bhai us
Ngl the shadows one sounds like something that would play in the credits. That's about the only place I could see it fitting in lol
After listening to the AC Shadows version of Ezio’s Family, I’d say that it’s closer thematically to “Venice Rooftops” variation by Jesper Kyd - More upbeat and action-oriented
I was kind of hoping for a more emotional and traditional rendition like Valhalla’s or Mirage’s, but oh well
3:55 fun fact: in the Shadows version they not only included Ezios family but also „Venice rooftops“ which was used as a chase theme in AC 2
The version from Chronicles: Russia I love the most. So dark and epic.
I like the Unity version, but it's used in perhaps the most random place, as the escape theme for the mission 'Le Roi est Mort'
There’s also a much more fitting version called ‘Nothing is True’ that plays at the end of the game.
@@C_Cooke which is also good.
My favourite is Valhalla because it sounds so magical and godlike
I get the chills as soon as that first hard piano key starts
as a fan of mirage, i love what u said about the mirage version and i agree with you!
I started assassin's creed since my older brother got the first ever assassin's creed game back in 2007 what appeals to me the game to the game is the dark and ominous is erie vibes.
The original is still my favourite. It sounds so mysterious and somber, yet oddly also a bit hopeful. And when the electric guitar kicks in, the whole song gets elevated even further as it musically bridges the past and the present. It's so perfect for Ezio and by extension his link with Desmond.
Venice rooftops should be an honorable mention imo
10:41 this gives me chills each times..
For me best ones are Odyssey and Origins because they're the only one i played but on top is Original od course.
I do think it was good for III and Black Flag not to feature it (III’s main theme start with it before launching into a whole new arrangement) as it was at that point associated with Ezio rather than being an anthem for the series as a whole. You could say having Rogue use it so prominently was also nostalgia baiting since Rogue deals more with setting up III and tying loose ends from Black Flag (the loose ends Forsaken and Freedom Cry didn’t tie up at least).
I thought Syndicate had a variation. Family is a big theme for that game, Jacob and Evie in the sense of being in the Brotherhood and twin siblings (whose relationship is tested during the game), and Evie’s emotional arc is about her relationship with Henry, whom she’s engaged to by the end of the flower pressing collecting.
At 8:25 are we just going to ignore how entertained thid cat is? 😂
Hi MasterAssassin, this is another Day of requesting you to play old AC games (like AC 1 or Ezio's Trilogy) in the format of review or "how far can go by not detected".
I didnt get introduced to the series until odyssey and I fell in love with most of the games and tbh I just assumed ezios family was just the ac theme not that it was originally made for Ezio it’s just so iconic and screams assassins creed
I was suprised that AC3 wasn't listed but, since listening back to it, I realized it makes sense to no include it. Because technically it's a version of Ezio's Family but it's very altered that I could see why it doesn't sound the same. The reason I'm saying that it's technically a version of Ezio's family is because if you listen back to the AC3 theme it uses the same notes from Ezio's family but reordered in such a way that it's unique to AC3 while still keeping the roots of Ezio's family. But yeah, just wanted to share if anyone was wondering why AC3 wasn't mentioned because I can see the confusion for it.
Ordered my personal fav.
I actually really like the rendition for AC Shadows. While I hope the game itself offers a more authentic and emotional version, I appreciate how different this one is. It’s catchy and has an old-school shinobi film vibe that I can't quite describe, but I like it. It's definitely up there with some of my favorite renditions of Ezio’s family because of its uniqueness.
The Shadows one reminds me of Kill Bill tbh
top 3 to me
ac2
origins
and valhalla
but man that valhalla version makes me feel like im going to valhalla itself. sooooo good
For me the AC Origins iteration hits different. Ubisoft should also have re used the chase theme from AC 1
a good honourable mention would be the chronicles series and ac identity theme
Great video! Would love to see more videos about soundtracks, it's fun to watch.
This is my ranking:
8 - Shadows: The soundtrack itself is very good on its own but I personally don't think it fits AC with feudal Japan setting. I was expecting to be something like Ghost of Tsushima or Sekiro. But it is definitely unquie (2nd most unique after Valhalla's one) and need to see how it fits in the game, or if there is another serious version of it.
7 - Odyssey:
Definitely represents ancient Greece setting. Could have been little more unique. Also as pointed out in the video, not used in some story/character moment but in a freaking menu! Wasted potential.
6 - Syndicate:
Short but sweet. Perfectly fits the Victorian setting and represents the twins bond (irrespective of how the twins' story is executed in game, this OST does beautifully represent the familial bonds).
5 - Mirage:
This is fantastic! Perfectly suits Bagdad and Basim's character. But I am yet to play the game so this ranking might change later.
4 - Rogue:
Honestly I would put this at #2 if not for Origins one representing Bayek (who is an awesome character!) and Valhalla's uniquie spin. This is a very emotional one and it suits Shay perfectly. Whenever i hear this, my mind automatically connects to Shay's journey. Rogue has such a amazing collection that i rarely see anyone talking about it. My favourites are the "Guardian" and "The Hunter"
3 - Valhalla:
Perfectly captures the Viking setting and also the most unique one. As expected from the original creator. Definitely suits the ending of the game and other important story moments.
2 - Origins:
Perfectly fits ancient Egypt, Bayek character and journey, the founding of the assassins. Nothing much to say except it is an awesome OST!
1- AC2: Nothing else to say but it is the original and the most iconic OST of the entire franchise. With the best title card sequence.
Edit: Corrected typo
Yasuke was a servant who served as a bodyguard and baggage carrier for Oda Nobunaga, but was not a samurai. He only had a short sword, no armor, and no Japanese sword, and did not participate in any battles other than the Honnoji Incident, which he happened to be caught up in. After the Honnoji Incident, he was captured by Akechi's forces and later released, but at that time Akechi Mitsuhide called him a "黒奴(kuro-yakko)" and said that he was no different from an animal.
(kuro=bluck,yakko=slave or lower class servant.)
If Yasuke was really a strong samurai, Mitsuhide would first consider making him his ally. If that were not possible, he would order him to either commit seppuku or behead. However, Yasuke was of no use, so Mitsuhide released him.
(Uses Google translation)
I think in odyssey the song plays when you get the boat and crew ending the prologue
I like AC 3's soundtrack intro, Also Black Flag and the new soundtrack fr AC Shadows
Sorry for that new video yesterday, due youtube got recent post when i restarted the app but didn't worked tho, but i gonna watch & listening some ezio's family!
Venice rooftops should be an honorable mention. Its mostly Ezios family but sped up
If it wasn't for my nostalgia of AC, i'd say the Origins version surpasses the original.
Fr
Ezio's Family does for Assassin's Creed what Arrival to Earth does for Bayformers. For all the issues each franchise has, you can't deny that the main themes for each one are goated masterpieces.
Anyone remember when that Unreal Engine fake AC Japan trailer thing used the Rogue theme and it worked surprisingly well?…
As an arabic speaker the mirage one hit deep !
the song itself is THE theme song of AC (not nostalgia bait) but switching from Ezio's family to a family of AC, so having a game without it feels missed out. i'm always happy when i hear it in new shape and form and can't wait to experience the new version of it in Shadows.
"quick spoiler warning here in case there are still some people who haven't finished Mirage " yeah, me, waiting for Steam release, if it ever comes.
Ezio's Family can't play in Odyssey during story moments because you don't play as an Assassin. if i remember correctly the song plays in main menu select alongside Odyssey's theme, but i don't remember it playing while in inventory.
Im just glad this isnt comparing to the witcher for once
Many people don’t like odeyes but it got the GOAT music
I love Origins Version, i get goosebumps every time (trough the whole vid btw), Just thinking about the ending from hidden one's DLC.
This song was good but my goodness, AC Unity’s OST was another masterpiece by Jesper Kyd. Probably one of a few AC games that doesn’t use the same melody all the time
Hey bro love your video! Can you make a AC Odessey and AC Valhalla review
I'd choose Earth over Ezio's Family for AC2 to be a kind of a true "Ezio's Family" AC theme tbh. It's grand, had the up and down, the chorus,...while the latter is more basic, one/two in tone, which mean to be catchy but it sounds kind of an earful real fast. The equivalent of Earth from AC2 is Shadows ver of Ezio's Family, that track cover a whole new vibes, with different parts of AC2 soundtrack too and not just that one basic melodic vocal in EF.
I Like the Mirage the most, it shows the emotions and depth of the basim character
Are you going to make more of your “wich assassin/templar is the ??” Series? I really enjoy it, also could you please add the ac chronicles games characters and templars to those videos? They’re some of my favorite games in the franchise, and if not, could you please make a video on your opinion about them? Since I think they’re great ac games, they have good stealth, and they’re just over all very interesting.
Nice vid
Ac 2's Overall soundtrack is on top if compared to others games .. not just ezio's family
I totally agree withthis except I'd swap the last two, while shadows is a rocking theme, it doesn't fit, yet if the soundtrack more 70's style samurai flick music. I could totally see this fitting. Listening to the EP that seems to be the direction it's taking. It grew on me as well. The trailer theme superior though
It is a good life we lead brother
for me assassin creed mirage is the best, i wish they made the "ezio family" part longer
It’s ironic when they use Ezio’s Family for assassins that are completely unrelated to Ezio. They must be using that tiny bit of DNA that all humans share.
“A distant cousin of my aunt’s nephew, twice removed. Lovely singing voice, though.” - Captain Jack Sparrow
Edit: Also, when it comes to Rogue’s rendition, it keeps that sadness of the original, while being very unique. As if to hint to the betrayal that Shay experienced, only for his spirits to be lifted by a new family that accepted him despite his origins. Rogue and II’s themes are my favorite of all the games, followed closely by III’s.
My goodness ac2 is such a good game. Ezio’s family is its crownjuwel.
I like your ranking,besides the original my favorite has to be the Rogue version
I just noticed one of Ac1's track has a bit of ezios family in it
Every Single AC theme is Great
My Fav are AC2 , AC4, AC Origins ,Valhalla and Mirage
I hope Black Flag remake will have Ezio's Family
Wait, but I thought that Unity had an Ezio's family? The "Le Roi Est Mort" Mission theme is known as Unity's version of the song
"Almost every opinion you express on your channel is the same as mine. No other TH-camr feels this way to me."
I know its an unpoplar opinion, but Ezio's Family should be left with Ezio. Assassin's Creed 3, 4 and Orgins all have unique theme, It got old really fast tbh and even in the main ezio games it was used sparely.
Ezios Family Ranking :
1-ofc its AC 2
2-Rogue ( sometimes my number 1 )
3-Odessey ( this one gives me THE VIBE )
4-Origins
5-Mirage ( really an odd feeling when hearing it )
6-Valhalla
7-Shadows ( its new still need to hear it more and in game )
8-Syndicate
My list is def more about the vibe it gives me and not when it plays than it would be something like MasterAssassins list.
Another thing i love all of them except Syndicate is dosent really give me any emotion.
It's sad that's access the animus from ac 1 don't have even references in any ac game. So much underrated 😓
Love ac rogues ac4 ac origins love ac mirage music feels good liten too nice choices on ur pics @MasterAssassin
Ezio's family best versions: "Earth" and "Venice Rooftops"
Ezio s family’s rouge is my favourite
The theme in the Shadow trailer is more like a background music, and the official Shadow’s ezio’s family sounds like a full song, too “noisy”
its a good life we live brother
Ezio is my favorite assassin. 🇮🇹❤ ,
Wait didn't oddysy use the track during the reveal that the wolf was your father during the opening scene, also at the end of the first blade dlc? (I know its dlc but thought i would point out that they do use the track for a few emotional scenes not just for the menue)
Rogue and 2 are the top picks for me though I have to admit I like Rogue’s version the best.
I like rogue’s main theme
I love Origins’ version so much ♥️
I like the version of Ezios family where they all live
Probably an unpopular opinion but one of my favorite version of Ezio’s Family is the version of the Mobile Game Assassin’s Creed Identity.
great video idea
my fav gotta ac oddyssey
