Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Original Soundtrack

Cover

The Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Original Soundtrack is the soundtrack of Ace Combat: Assault Horizon. It will be released sometime after the release of Assault Horizon, presumably in late 2011 or early 2012. The OST features music composed by the Namco Sound Team, involving famed long time Ace Combat composers such as Tetsukazu Nakanishi and Hiroshi Okubo, while including new composers such as Rio Hamamoto and the Yuval Ron Ensemble. Copies of one disc containing some pieces from OST were available with the European Limited Edition of Assault Horizon, as well as pre-orders from Best Buy in North America.

The soundtrack contains a total of 38 tracks divided among three discs.
