Think of yourself as a fan of AVICII, the legendary DJ & producer? Well, come this winter you’ll be able to get hands on with AVICII Invector on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, PS4 and PC, with a beautifully crafted rhythm experience that celebrates the life of the DJ.
Promising to celebrate the life and talents of the Swedish DJ, AVICII Invector will launch this winter on Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC, with a PS4 re-launch occurring at the same time, bringing fast paced rhythm gaming to a whole new audience.
Fusing together AVICII’s trademark brand of uplifting EDM music coupled with serene visualscapes, Invector will allow everyone to feel and experience his music in a new way, with fans able to take in a fresh musical journey, while a portion of the proceeds will go directly to The Tim Bergling Foundation, which advocates for the recognition of suicide as a global health emergency and promotes removing the stigma attached to the discussion of mental health issues.
AVICII Invector is part of an outpouring of support and recognition for the Swedish DJ and music producer, following the selling out of the AVICII Tribute Concert, which will be held in Stockholm on December 5th, and where names including Rita Ora, Kygo, David Guetta and more will honour the late musician.
Tim Bergling, aka AVICII, himself a lifelong gamer, worked on AVICII Invector for two years and saw the game’s original release launch first on PS4. The upcoming new multi-platform release will help to celebrate AVICII’s music and turn up the volume while taking rhythm gaming to new heights.
Created in collaboration with the Swedish DJ, and now with his family in his honor, AVICII Invector has become much more of an homage to his music since his tragic passing in 2018. Set against a backdrop of 25 of his biggest hits, Invector will let players fly solo or recreate the party feeling of an AVICII concert with local split-screen racing. Players can join space pilot Stella on her journey from one stunning world to the next, mastering moves as they race through gorgeous landscapes, while hitting the notes with three difficulties to master.
“AVICII Invector celebrates AVICII’s life and music by immersing players inside the pulsing rhythms, evocative lyrics, and beautiful melodies he created,” said Leo Zullo, Managing Director of Wired Productions. “He was an amazing talent, and as an advocate for mental health, I hope and believe this project will bring Tim Bergling’s wonderful spirit to a world that can benefit from it.”

About The Tim Bergling Foundation:
The Tim Bergling Foundation was created by Klas and Anki Bergling and their family after the death of their son Tim Bergling, also known as AVICII – one of the most acclaimed and beloved producers/performers/songwriters in modern music. Tim’s parents have endowed the foundation with a significant contribution from his estate and will direct proceeds from future AVICII projects and the recent release of the posthumous album, ”TIM” (2019) to the foundation.
The Tim Bergling Foundation will advocate for the recognition of suicide as a global health emergency and promote removing the stigma attached to the discussion of mental health issues. It will support science-based organizations that engage in research into the causes and prevention of suicide, particularly for young people.
Additionally, the foundation will support non-profits that address issues for which Tim had a passion, such as climate change, preservation of endangered species, global hunger, and more.
