'Dead in Vinland' Gets New DLC On PC, Comes to Switch Later This Year - Trailer

by Rainier on Jan. 24, 2019 @ 3:25 p.m. PST

Dead In Vinland is a survival management game set on a faraway unknown land, where you must lead Eirik and his family on their quest to survive.

Manage their physical and mental health, explore the island, organize your camp and deal with other human beings - friends or foes. Discover some esoteric mysteries while you’re there, too. Mysteries that could save your life... Or lead you to your own demise.

Set in the same universe as CCCP’s Dead in Bermuda, Dead in Vinland pulls from many genres with survival management systems, RPG and adventure elements, with a focus on player choice.  Each game is totally independant, you won't miss a thing if you haven't played DiB, but in the end you'll learn in each game more about a common thread that ties everything together.

Exiled on a faraway, unknown land, lead Eirik and his family on their quest to survive. Manage their physical and mental health, explore the island, organize your camp and deal with other human beings – friends or foes. Discover some of the esoteric mysteries in Vinland - mysteries that could save your life…or lead you to your own demise.

The PC version of Dead in Vinland is getting the major DLC “The Battle of the Heodenings" today for €4.99/$4.99 adding a new sandbox-style endless mode to the game.

Named after the tale of an endless battle from Norse mythology, the second out of three DLC releases focuses on the survival aspects of the game and offers the ultimate challenge: first players freely customize their initial party, skills and traits, then they must survive for as long as humanly possible. An endless map awaits with increasingly difficult tributes, as well as new skills, traits and merchants.

Developer CCCP and publisher Playdius announced a Switch version of Dead in Vinland, including all the DLC of the PC version, is planned for Q2 2019.

"We were very pleased with the original launch of Dead in Vinland and the community feedback. That’s why it’s great that we can not only bring the Viking lands of the game to new Switch players but also expand the game.”, says Matthieu Richez, Game Designer and co-founder at CCCP.  “It’s really exciting that we can add an in-depth and super challenging endless mode to the game with the “The Battle of the Heodenings" DLC. Its perfect for all fans that want to fully focus on the management and RPG elements of the game.”
