Nominate Old World for Best Soundtrack!

The Steam Award nominations have started, and we'd absolutely love it if you'd consider nominating Old World for "Best Soundtrack" -- we're enormously proud of the amazing work done by the composer and all the artists!

We also have some exciting news to share -- Old World's soundtrack has been nominated for a Grammy® Award! The soundtrack is composed by Christopher Tin, who previously won a Grammy for his song Baba Yetu in the Civilization IV soundtrack.

You can click the image above if you'd like to nominate the game. Thank you to everyone for all the support this past year!
