Composer Stephanie Economou has made history with her soundtrack for Assassin's Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök, taking home the first-ever Grammy Award for video game music during last night's 65th Annual Grammy Awards. Other nominees included Bear McCreary (Call of Duty: Vanguard) and Richard Jacques (Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy), but Economou's music for Assassin's Creed: Valhalla's third DLC, which released in March 2022 to serve as the biggest expansion in the Assassin's Creed series to date, evidently impressed more voting members, with favorites that include a main theme that was created in collaboration with Vikings composer Einar Selvik. Economou was also responsible for the soundtrack for The Siege of Paris, the second expansion to Assassin's Creed Valhalla that invites players to raid one of Francia's chief cities.
