Life often dashes expectations to the ground.

Call me cynical, but I highly doubt Kyd is returning. What I want to know is why he left. He's still in the business, so he's obviously not quit from soundtrack-producing. Contract dispute, perhaps? Or maybe Ubisoft, while shedding the series' old traditions (such as the characters having similar faces), decided to let Kyd go.
