We've collaborated with Norwegian band Djerv to create the title track for our game: "Reignbreaker"! Listen to it now[ffm.to] on streaming platforms, and check out the lyric video:

Djerv is known for blending intense rock, metal, and gaming culture in a way that has captured the attention of an international audience. With previous collaborations like "Get Jinxed" (League of Legends), "THE REDHOOD" (Nikke: Goddess of Victory), and "Rebel Heart" (Arcane: Season 2), they've made their mark on some of the world's most iconic games. This has led to nominations in 2025 for both the Norwegian Grammys in the "International Success of the Year" category and the Norwegian Music Publishing Awards in the "Sync of the Year" category.

Now they're taking it to the next level with "Reignbreaker," a track that combines metal, Agnete's iconic vocals, and driving rhythms with an uncompromising melody that mirrors the game's rebellious and anti-authoritarian theme.

“With this track, we wanted to try something new. It has a different vibe – almost like a march, something we've never done before. We've slowed down the tempo, but the energy is still intense,” says vocalist Agnete Kjølsrud. “It's about channeling the power and drive needed when you're ready to tear down the system.

Alexander "Pepe" Pieper, our studio head, describes why Djerv was the perfect band to create the track that would define the game: "Music has always been a big part of my identity, ever since I played in punk bands in the 2000s. When designing 'Reignbreaker,' we wanted it to feel like playing through an album like 'Battle of Los Angeles' by Rage Against the Machine — raw, rebellious, and full of energy. Punk isn't just about identity or graffiti; music is the core. Djerv was the perfect band to create a title track that captures that spirit. When we heard their work on League of Legends and Arcane, we knew they were the right choice, and they totally nailed it!”

Reignbreaker launches next week on March 18. You'll also be able to purchase the soundtrack on Steam, which includes Djerv's explosive new track "Reignbreaker." Play the demo to get a taste of our kingdom-smashing roguelike, and follow us on social media[m.mtrbio.com] to stay up-to date!

First things first: don’t miss our final pre-launch devstream TODAY, March 12, at 15:00 CET with one of our audio designers, who will be chatting about how his team crafted the unique medievalpunk soundscape of Reigbnreaker. Follow us on Twitch[www.twitch.tv] and don’t miss it!

Reignbreaker is medievalpunk game. Yes, we made up this word, but we like it because it captures the wild mashup of aesthetics and influences that feed into the game. That extends from the gameplay to the art to our focus today: sound design. "It was quite a process to find the right balance of punch, punk, and medieval soundscapes to represent the game’s anti-establishment direction,” says Markus Zierhofer of AudioCreatures, who created the audio for Reignbreaker. “Shaping the audio landscape, our entire team contributed to the audio direction, sound design, and music — destroying and recording countless guitars, and experimenting with various sounds through re-sampling and re-amping techniques to bring the world to life.”

AudioCreatures used both modern and medieval instruments to match the anachronistic influences of Reignbreaker, while also setting the mood: “We kept the music punchy while also adding melodic sequences in the combat music, which are tailored to match the enemies you’re fighting to create a cohesive and immersive game world”

The Reignbreaker title track can be heard in the main menu — play the demo to listen now!

But the game still needed a punk rock anthem to get players in the mood to fight: “From the start, we really wanted to collaborate with an established punk band or artist,” says Markus, “and we were thrilled to arrange an extremely cool partnership for the game's title track. We're officially announcing and releasing the track onto streaming platforms on March 14 — but if you've played the demo and done some digging you probably who it is already. We're super pleased with the result, which is not only a perfect match for the game but also an absolute banger on its own!"

Finally, let's highlight the final and most chaotic Javelin bayonet in our series: the Blast Javelin. Basically, it makes your weapon explode on impact. This does a lot of damage to enemies, but it can damage you as well. Therefore it carries a very high risk of injury, but it’s (almost) always worth it.

Keep your distance while blasting enemy groups with the Throw:

The Strike is a dive attack that plants a bomb, which goes off after a short time:

And the Slam explodes right where you're standing — so make sure to dash away ASAP:

Hey, so this is crazy, but we’re launching the game in less than a week. Please check out our demo if you haven’t yet, tell your friends, and tune in to our Twitch channel[www.twitch.tv] later today for our last pre-launch devstream!
