Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, a 3D remake of the original 1981 RPG, has received the Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media. Composer Winifred Phillips expressed her gratitude to Digital Eclipse and the audience for their recognition of video game music, emphasizing the significance of this achievement.
Phillips' win is particularly noteworthy given the strong competition, which included renowned composers such as Wilbert Roget, II (Star Wars Outlaws), John Paesano (Marvel's Spider-Man 2), Bear McCreary (God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla), and Pinar Toprak (Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora). She described her win as a career highlight, emphasizing the unique collaborative nature of composing for interactive media. The music, she explained, must adapt to the player's choices and experiences, creating a dynamic and engaging soundscape.
This Grammy win builds upon a legacy of video game music recognition, following previous winners like Stephanie Economou (Assassin's Creed Valhalla) and Stephen Barton and Gordy Haab (Star Wars Jedi: Survivor). The award also marks a significant milestone in the history of video game music, tracing back to Christopher Tin's "Baba Yetu" for Civilization 4, the first video game music to win a Grammy in 2011. Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord's success underscores the growing appreciation and recognition of video game music as a distinct and valuable art form.
