THE titles nominated in the video game category for Best Original Soundtrack to compete for the award at the 2026 Grammys are the following:
Avatar: Pandora’s Frontiers – Secrets of the Towers (Pinar Toprak), Helldivers 2 (Wilbert Roget), Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (Gordy Haab), Star Wars Outlaws: Wild Card and a Pirate’s Fortune (Cody Matthew Johnson and Wilbert Roget, II) and Sword of the Sea (Austin Wintory).
But this last person, who already has three nominations and worked on Journey, Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, Abzu and The Flag Sagahas mixed feelings this time.
“Congratulations to my friends and thank you to the Recording Academy for including Sword of the Sea in the 26th Annual Grammy Awards“Wintory said in Elon Musk’s social network.
“I’m saddened by the absence of Expedition 33 among them. I would be happy to change positions. This soundtrack is the very definition of worthy!“, except those in charge of naming the games, it seems.
The funny thing is that it doesn’t seem like a joke, since in another answer he made it clear that it’s not nonsense. He is sure that if he removed himself from the list, he would gladly do so.
The absence of Expedition 33 at the 2026 Grammys, inexplicable
“I promise you I’m not being stupid. It’s very rare that a score captures players’ imagination so universally and that experts and professionals alike can agree that it is brilliantly executed.“.
The lack of an RPG on the list is more notable when we consider that the Interactive RPG Sandfall is one of best rated games of the year and candidate for GOTY 2025.
Who could understand this the soundtrack composed by Lorien Testard is left out of the 2026 Grammy nominations? None of the nominees can understand this.
