Following their recent Netflix success, DJERV have returned with a game-changing track for a new action game. They’ve collaborated with some of the world’s biggest game companies, been nominated for the Norwegian Grammys and the Norwegian Music Publishing Awards, and now DJERV is ready to conquer the gaming world once again. Today, they release “Reignbreaker” – a powerful, raw track crafted for the upcoming action game of the same name. This is a track that not only sets the standard for game soundtracks in 2025 but also solidifies DJERV’s position as one of Norway’s most exciting bands and a leader in Norwegian music-gaming collaborations.
