Survival Game ‘Dead in Vinland’ Coming To Steam on April 12

Playdius, a global independent games publisher, has announced that Dead in Vinland will be launching on PC and Mac via Steam on April 12, 2018. If you’re into TV shows like Vikings, you should consider checking this game out!

Dead in Vinland is developed by French studio CCCP. The upcoming game is set in the same universe as CCCP’s “first breakout hit” Dead in Bermuda. According to the CCCP, Dead in Vinland “pulls from many genres with survival management systems, RPG, and adventure elements, with a focus on player choice.”

Here’s the official synopsis:

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.
