Sarah Schachner has been known for her magnificent talent showcased in the most iconic games so far. After impressing everyone with her skills in Assassin’s Creed franchise, she began working on Call of Duty games several years ago. While she was the main composer on 2019’s Modern Warfare, her return for its sequel in 2022 made fans even more delighted. They were looking forward to its release soon.

Despite getting the game on October 28, however, many hardcore franchise lovers were left clueless regarding the soundtrack for Modern Warfare II. A few days back, Sarah Schachner had revealed an update on this situation. But now, she has clearly mentioned the actual reason for why the soundtrack has been delayed indefinitely. Apart from that, she has announced an unfortunate news for all the fans.

The musician wrote in her latest tweet that she’s now distanced herself from the project. “I am sad to say I can no longer continue to compose music for MWII / Warzone. Over the past couple of months the working dynamic with the audio director has become increasingly challenging and I don’t see any path forward,” read the tweet from Sarah.

Simply put, Sarah Schachner won’t be working on the Call of Duty series from now on. Plus, she mentioned that she’s had a challenging experience working with the audio director for Modern Warfare II. After her exit, the soundtrack that will be out for the game won’t have her “artistic intent in regards to mixing and mastering,” according to her statement.

She also revealed that Mike Dean (prominent producer who’s made music for artists like Kanye West), was also involved in the project. Sadly, his masters won’t be featured in the music when it’s available.

Although Sarah didn’t directly reveal the name of the audio director with whom she had creative differences, it seems like he’s the main reason for her departure from Modern Warfare II. It’s obvious that a lot of fans who loved her work on 2019’s rebooted entry in the sub-series will miss her in the future. What are your thoughts on this entire situation?
