Firaxis Games has released a new behind-the-scenes video exploring how the award-winning music of Civilization VII was brought to life.
The feature offers a look at the creative process behind Civ VII’s sweeping score, crafted by the Firaxis audio team alongside composer Christopher Tin. Tin is no stranger to the franchise — his composition “Baba Yetu” for Civilization IV made history as the first video game track to win a Grammy Award. For Civ VII, Tin composed the main theme “Live Gloriously,” continuing the series’ tradition of culturally rich, era-spanning soundtracks.
Sound and music have always been central to the Civilization experience, helping players feel the weight of different time periods and cultures as their empires evolve across the Ages. The video dives into how the audio team approaches that challenge and the passion they bring to the work.
For fans who want to take the music home, the Civilization VII soundtrack is also available on vinyl as a box set featuring tracks from across all three Ages.
