Death Stranding wins Best Music & Score at the 2019 Game Awards

This year's edition of The Game Awards just concluded.

The digital stars of the gaming community sparkled in Los Angeles, California for the annual Game Awards on Friday (12/13). This year, Kojima ProductionsDeath Stranding won Best Score/Music up against Cadence of Hyrule, Devil May Cry 5, Kingdom Hearts III, and Sayonara Wild Hearts.

Death Stranding's official soundtrack includes the title track by CHVRCHES.

"We were really excited about the opportunity to work with Kojima because we have been fans of his work for a long time," CHVRCHES reveal in a statement about lending their music to the award-winning game." He has always been such a visionary in the gaming world and we were honoured to be involved in the project. The concept of Death Stranding is so unique and really felt to us like it was challenging people to care about the world they create—in the game and otherwise. We wrote this song specifically for Death Stranding, thinking of the themes of the game and what it is trying to say to people."
