Kid Katana Records partnered with Digital Eclipse and Atari to release the Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord official game soundtrack on vinyl for the first time. Composer Winifred Phillips built a score steeped in ancient history, using period instruments from around the world including gitterns, nyckelharpas, dulcimers, and bone flutes, alongside a choral battle anthem sung in the ancient language of the Wizardry spellbook. The result earned Phillips the 2025 Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media.
