Firaxis announced today that Civ7 is nominated for the WSA Game Music Award 2025.
The Game Music Award is part of the World Sountrack Award, which are awarded since 2001. The Game Award is newer, since 2023 only.
And while we can maybe complain plenty about the state of Civ7, the soundtrack, especially Live Gloriously, is glorious.
If you want to vote for Civ7, you can do this here, and you can also discuss this nomination with us here.
