Team behind cult 2012 video game reunites on Grammy winner Art director Matt Nava and composer Austin Wintory reveal how their cult 2012 video game Journey shaped their latest offering, the Grammy Award-winning Sword of the Sea.

🗡️🌊 @mattnava.bsky.social and @awintory.bsky.social have a long career of collaboration, their two creative disciplines intertwined. I remember distinctly how exciting it was when Journey was nominated for a Grammy, and now Sword of the Sea is the latest winner.

2025 exposed us all to a lot of violence, suffering, and just bad vibes. These were the games that best countered that energy, these are the most wholesome games of 2025.

Congrats to @paperklay.bsky.social, @okomotive.ch, & @giantsquidstudios.com!

#4 Sword of the Sea de @giantsquidstudios.com

Le jeu évoque aussi bien Journey que Abzû par sa direction artistique. Parfait pour se détendre en s'émerveillant de l'animation mais aussi de l'OST qui appuie l'aspect contemplatif.
