Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord, a 3D remake of the seminal 1981 RPG, has been awarded the Grammy for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media. Composer Winifred Phillips accepted the prestigious award, expressing gratitude to Digital Eclipse and the audience for their continued support of video game music. She highlighted the unique collaborative nature of composing for interactive media, emphasizing the dynamic relationship between the music and the player's experience.
Phillips' win was a significant achievement, surpassing strong competition from notable composers including 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). In a post-Grammy interview, Phillips expressed her surprise and deep appreciation for the recognition, calling it a career highlight. She further elaborated on the artistry of video game scoring, describing it as a collaborative process that intertwines with the player's journey and choices within the game's narrative.
This Grammy win continues a legacy of video game music's growing recognition within the broader music industry. Previous recipients of the award include Stephanie Economou (Assassin's Creed Valhalla) and Stephen Barton and Gordy Haab (Star Wars Jedi: Survivor). The award also builds upon the groundbreaking achievement of Christopher Tin's "Baba Yetu" (Civilization 4), the first video game music to receive a Grammy nomination and win in 2011.
