An unspecified amount of the profits the game makes will be donated to The Tim Bergling Foundation, the organisation set up by Avicii’s family to "focus on supporting people and organizations working in the field of mental illness and suicide prevention."

Leo Zullo, Managing Director of Wired Productions, publishing partner for the game, said: “AVICII Invector celebrates Avicii’s life and music by immersing players inside the pulsing rhythms, evocative lyrics, and beautiful melodies he created.

“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.”
