“It’s a big thing and I feel very validated by this community, and I’m beyond grateful to be here,” Economou said. “I’m honored especially because this is the first year this category exists.”
Economou previously worked on 2014’s Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
The Assassin’s Creed franchise has consistently earned praise over the years for its soundtrack – from Ezio’s Family and Venice Rooftops to Valhalla’s Dawn of Ragnarok score. The newly-introduced Grammy category itself is a major achievement for the video games industry.
Congrats, Stephanie!
