Fans of Video Game Music have something new to check out this week with the release of Lorne Balfe’s original score for ASSASSIN’S CREED III: THE TYRANNY OF KING WASHINGTON – a 3-part DLC series exploring an alternate reality in which George Washington goes mad with unlimited power, foregoing Presidency to rule as tyrannical King.
