Pav Gekko Recognised by Video Games Chronicle in Composers’ Picks: Best Video Game Music of 2025

I’m honoured that Spirit of the North 2 was included in Video Games Chronicle’s year-end feature highlighting the best video game music of 2025 as chosen by fellow composers.

In the article — written by Mat Ombler and published on Video Games Chronicle — 50 established game composers shared their favourite soundtracks of the year, representing a wide range of creative perspectives from across the industry. What makes this coverage distinctive is that it’s driven by peer recognition, with composers such as Austin Wintory (Sword of the Sea), Darren Korb (Hades 2), Masayoshi Soken and Lena Raine contributing personal picks.

The feature highlights the depth and diversity of video game music in 2025 — from blockbuster orchestral scores to outstanding independent compositions — and places Spirit of the North 2 in the context of those broader conversations among creative practitioners.
