The Flight
ABOUT
Ivor Novello award winning duo Joe Henson and Alexis Smith began collaborating in 2005. After realizing they had a similar approach to life and wildly divergent musical tastes, they formed a creative partnership that quickly encompassed songwriting, production, and composition.
The duo have worked with some of the biggest names in the music industry as well as being renowned composers for triple A video games titles. 2014 saw the release of hit survival horror title Alien: Isolation, and they followed this up with Horizon: Zero Dawn, Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Horizon Forbidden West, and WB Games Montréal’s Gotham Knights.
The Flight's television projects include the NETFLIX Series Lockwood & Co, BAFTA nominated BBC documentary series Drugsland, and Kids on the Edge, produced for Channel 4 by Century Films.
Their most recent project sees the duo returning to the popular Assassin’s Creed franchise with Assassin’s Creed Shadows. The game takes place in 16th century Japan and follows two new characters in the creed’s fight against the Templar order. Assassin’s Creed Shadows is set to release on Playstation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on November 15, 2024.
