The Action-RPGAssassin’s Creed Valhallajust won the first-ever award for a video game score at the Grammys this year. While game music has won categories in previous award ceremonies, this is the first win for the brand new category “Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media”. The award went to Stephanie Economou who is the composer for the Dawn of Ragnarok DLC.

Other nominees in the category included Aliens: Fireteam Elite by Austin Wintory, Call of Duty: Vanguard by Bear McCreary, Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy by Ricard Jacques and Christopher Tin for Old World. Tin is the only previous composer to win a Grammy for his score in Civilization 4.

While quite the industry veteran, Economou’s pieces found in Assassin’s Creed Valhalla’sDLCs The Siege of Paris and Dawn of Ragnarok are the first for her as a video game composer. In an interview with billboard, Economou expressed how honoured she was to have won the award.

Dawn of Ragnarok was released last year, adding an Odin tale expansion following his journey to rescue his son Baldr. This was based on the dwarven realm of Svaralfheim. Players embark on the Norse-inspired journey infiltrating and taking over strongholds.
